Great words of encouragement and exhortation to the writer - to always remember the value of writing, its purpose and that God is both guiding and reading.
My favorite couplet is:
"Write simple, soft, symphonic word
Utter everything free of hard word " (words) plural sounds better.

Definitely one of your better pieces, Al ... I like the free-form stream-of-consciousness association which always comes back to the artistic process, and to your relationship with the Creator.

In my opinion, the message of advisement here is worthy of repetition and reread - stunning in presentation and wisdom, simplicity in print that states the morality of the teachings of scripture - clearly presented in word and imagery...

First, the seemingly everlasting apology for not having the sixth star, so very sincerely deserving for this truly rare, uncommon, and truly delightful work which I sincerely appreciated in all dimensions. I have no recommendations to offer this fine author to improve this work in any way, and I truly thank him for an honestly delightful, thoughtful work! HIS GRAYNESS; Vance

Write for a thousand years you say? Hmmm, as long as there's good food it might be a plan.

Very nicely done ALD. And a good reminder that those marks on the page are lot more than just marks on a page.

Much enjoyed and many thanks for sharing. :)

Excellent note to self. We need to remind ourselves daily of what is good and right and the right thing to do. We all need to hold ourselves to a higher standard and live by it.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

I like the way you tell yourself what to write and how to write the soft, simple truth. If you tell the truth, you can keep on writing, as the truth is just there. I think on the third from the bottom stanza you want the word Advise. (Another idiosyncrasy of American English) The last stanza says it all. Speak the truth. Address direct, straight, open and fast. Ah, if only all of us did that. Wait. They would be no fiction.
I still like the Speak the truth. Good job.

Yea, bind them about thy neck and thou shalt surely sink like a great millstone...what can I say, here are some excellent rules to follow, for the sneaky old written word can hide in the shadows for centuries and jump out and bite you.

I think you mean for your words to be less restricted and for there to be more freedom in expression? But I am a big fan of punctuation and it can make or break a poem, getting it right is the challenge, love Dolly x
