How Did I Know?

How did I know . . .

when my childhood had ended?

when I'd found a lifelong friend?

that where I lived was my home?

that I am truly a writer?

that I am being true to myself?

I knew when other voices became only opinions.

    the beauty of a writer is reflected in the limited words that one uses to express a great deal. u totlay deserve an applaus... nice piece.

    Thank you, your words are music to my ears. i agree only as many words as you need and not one word more.

    How Did I know
    When I held that pen?
    My hands will script many words
    That I never expected to appear
    As one time I just was a blank page
    Now I’m accumulation of words- a poetry to be recited
    Or scripted words a manuscript of a story
    For those who will flip my pages
    Shall clearly understand my contents

    On other hand my rambling thoughts:
    We all do not know until we take the first step

    Hi rakshi doshi,
    As I recall, I said something about you speaking in layers of meaning. This seems longer than a comment. How about an email?
    I'll come visit you.

    smiles,
    Liz

    That is beautiful and very true. I am still trying stop listening to voices of those around me and hear only my own. It will happen in time though.

    Jennifer,
    Thank you, keep listening. Other voices offer information. It's the decisions that you own.

    smiles,
