I hit save when I brave
the sword of the penman
Face to face with the blank lineman
I sip savor when I dip my ladle of ink
into the thirsty loaf of pages
I taste the cuisine of the recipe of creation
I am a skilled ready writer
I am called to the front line, a fighter
Waging war with words
I expose sour milk until it curds
I am a brave painter
An artist of the letter
Scourged in dies of blues
Soaked with salty sea of tears
Stained moon slices of blood mares
I am an interpreter of dreams, imaginations and feelings
I am the sound of silent fears
pining love and cares
I am the boldness of the bashful,
The strength of the week
Spoken faith of the doubtful
I am a poet, a writer
Writing with joy
Writing with sorrow
I write till I write out of ink
I out write the thoughts I think
I am a ready writer
The more I write I get tighter
and freedom flows free
for destiny is the freeway
and the clogging agony of what I should be
has passed away no more to hinder my course
for the truth is my transport, I am on a horse
of purpose to the end that was spoken
The sword is in my mouth as the pen in my grasp
I am a ready writer fulfilling the task
A preacher through pages
A prophet of ages
In these last day stages
I am called to this stage
not to be a star
but to reorganize the distorted puzzle
To release revelation from this blind generations muzzle
To decree and declare the Lords day
To announce His purpose and his way
I am like John the Baptist
on the list of the chosen
called to the weapon of the marker
Crying out across a wilderness of blankness that has become darker
I cannot put my sword down till the next battle
Or put my pen down till the next tackle
On the line of scrimmage
I am on team a runner for this lineage
Because I am on post
I am a servant of the Lord of host
I am His poet
