Woke Up This Morning

Moving the crowd
Making 'em clap to this
Writing stories to be added
To your Amazon Wish List
Show stopping
Jaw dropping
It's not what "they" said
It's what I know
My mama used to say
I been here befo'e
Probably
I am Spirit
What he says write
I hear it
And scribe...nouns and verbs
Word after word
My ultimate goal to be seen
Not just heard
It's what I do
Not for me, but for you
All the late nights
Greeting the daylight
Yeah, it's fun...and it's work
Making fiction reality 'til my hands hurt
It's a gift, not a curse at all
Using pen and palabras to knock down walls
I've got a plan and I'm all about it
No need to stand on the mountain top and shout it
I just write
Proofread, edit, make it tight
And present it
Everything that's in it is from me
Every dotted "I", every crossed "T"
Says, A-vah Lah-Row
(the phonetic spelling for those who don't know)
It's who I am
