Symphonies
Once you meet a true writer, you know.
You can tell by the way they speak. They speak in poetry. Sonorous words drip
from their tongues like succulent honey. Their words are notes in a glorious symphony.
Some poets and authors write to express
themselves. Other authors write for their readers. Others write because they
have to. That’s what we do. Writers write.
For me, when I write poetry, it is to
express myself, to talk about things that are important to me, or to
discuss an issue I’m passionate about.
I am also writing my first novel:
“Samantha”. When I write in the book, it is different. I am writing it because
I have a story to tell. I have more stories in my head right now. I hope to
tell all of my stories. I hope to thus, one day, be a professional storyteller.
I do not write melodies or speak in
poetry. One could argue therefore that I am not a true writer. I challenge
that thought. I was born with this gift, and only discovered it three years
ago. I am an apprentice, still learning my craft. I have time to learn. I have
time to ply my craft, to tell my stories, to write my melodies, compose my
symphonies.
