Words Are Leaping

Your thoughts wait for the morning light

A night of writing has finally been fun

Sleep is not within your sights

Your thoughts are not settled and done

The pen scribbles on the paper

The picture forms in your eyes

Flashes of brilliance leap out

Of that there can be no disguise

At times like this I marvel at your world

Words leaping out 

Capturing scenes, 

Capturing souls

You settle patiently in your thoughts 

Quietly they leave the room

Seeing you return to a simple discussion

Has sent me over the moon

In the daylight we wander and roam

We travel far and wide

Your eyes are all seeing 

Picking at the fabrics they describe

At times like this I marvel at your world

Words leaping out 

Capturing scenes, 

Capturing souls
