To Write

As the earth stood still
The night wind chilled
A moment frozen in time
A spell was cast
Not a moment past
Over earth and sky
As I sat frozen
I heard the words
That was chosen
To set me right
Words that stung
Like cold wind
On a frozen night
Within mists of disillusion
And thoughts of confusion
One thought alone
Prodded my mind
Through well meant lectures
And tactful conversations
One thought made
That ten pin strike
Intense clarity
Sudden reality
Made me realize
That all I ever wanted to do
Was write!
