I AM an artist who has a painting inside,
Begging its colors be seen.
I AM a sculptor who has a statue inside,
Screaming to take form in stone.
I AM a singer who has a song in me,
Shouting to be given a voice.
I AM a songwriter who has a streaming score of notes in me,
Imploring that I arrange them into music.
I AM a minister with a message that wants out,
Pleading to be given life.
I AM an actor with the line of a lifetime,
Prompting me incessantly to be delivered.
I AM a poet, an epic verse within,
Oh, how it longs for its flight into the world.
I AM all the above and too many more to name,
Having gifts within to be shared and un-contained.
Too full!
Alas, it is a cloying form of cruelty,
A pretty kind of pain.
I AM
All the above,
For Real and in Figure,
I AM a writer with untold stories stewing,
Steaming, brewing,
Lines and verses,
Of characters, and plots, and loves, and loss, and joy,
And glories
Ready to burst forth from my heart, and chest, and breath, and pen.
Only a writer could know…..
Especially,
A Writer like God……

This is just how I have felt for some time now and it seems as if I will explode if I don’t do something soon. So pray the Lord assign me to a task before my head blows up lol. Or perhaps we are doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing right now as He prepares us for our next task?????????? Great piece, keep’em coming. ron
“Lord, I pray today that I might more and more be at home in my prayer chamber. It’s exciting to be in the pulpit; it’s vital to be in the closet. Let me do this work with deeper commitment and greater enthusiasm. Amen.”……… AW Tozer
