if you sat down and waited with pen in hand perched

over blank page asking

your self this question over each breath

what would come to fill this page

becoming a manuscript for

your life lived well

we put into the world what we most want

that longing is a lack sure yes

but what’s more it is your call from soul

giving you the sign you’ve been seeking

pointing you on to the road marked by the name

scribed in your book
