Get Your Words Out

Find the words

To get the thoughts out

Write them down

Though not a lot now

More will come

As you ruminate

Life lessons,

In you, will awake

This poem is based on personal reflection.

I had a concussion and blacked out around 10 years ago. It was a bit of balance and vision recovery. Since then, I don't play the piano (only for my ears in quality) or read like I used to. I decided to push myself into getting a masters. Crazy, right?

And I would hear my husband say, 'Find your words" a lot when we were talking. We kind of joked about it. I would replace words in sentences like couch for bench. And it was fascinating how my brain came up with that. But writing became more of a joy. I find it easier to write than speak. A good thing because getting a masters in education requires a lot of written reflection which I call blah blah. Lol.

I have always been one who remembers things better by writing them down. Each church talk I listen to is a new gem- a source for writing. Never do old talks or previous poems get in the way- even after 7,000 poems!&nbsp;</div><div>I ponder and feel the words/the thought that get me started. And I know when I'm done because I got "all the words out".</div>

I had to revisit about using words incorrectly. Today I said "Is the door unlocked?" Instead of "Is the gate unlocked?" ....tired brain
