THE SKILL OF THE WRITER

It struck my heart

It moved my soul

It brought me to tears

And left a hole

The breath taking beauty

Of words turned to art

It's the skill of the writer

That can move or touch a heart

The eloquent power

The heart rendering edge

It makes you want to leap off

The emotional ledge

Free falling, into the deep

Into an ocean of thought

Breathing in the meaning

Into your words, I'm caught

Words created the masterpiece

For the heart to feel and see

Pulling you in to the uncharted depths

If the writer's mystery
