The Writer

Camus

How beautiful that one can be so invested in something that they love. How wonderful that one can enjoy every aspect of this life and more. How truly grateful I am that an accumulation of words can make me feel new sensations each time. When I read something truly great, beyond the content, I begin to wonder about person behind those words:

He created a world from within

Gave a story to each character

A struggle and a dream

They carried his pain

And broke his chains

They existed to merely entertain

He lived in each character

And planted seeds in them

He connected the worlds

Made bridges with his words

Alliterations, metaphors and wordplay

It was a way to secure their stay

Every inch of him shined through

They were the light

They revealed the truth

The truth

Of his skin

Of his within

What a beautiful dream it seemed

Relationships, communities and cities

His mind finally at ease

Oh how witty!

Witty

That he was

Something so small

Started out as humor

Grew on him like an English ivy

Wrapped his mind in security

Gave depth to his life

And made it a bit heavy

His thoughts invested

Trusted and Adjusted

To a new part of him

To which he gave birth

It was the most intimate place on earth
