When I look for the best ones needed for a situation, they will come. Often, though, after far too much time has passed to use them to any effect.
If I attempt solitude, I can assure you that they will come, and fast and furious.
The right ones will come at the wrong time. And the wrong ones…
Too often.
They hover, menacingly, when I most need to swallow them down.
They scatter and float just out of reach, when I most need to push them out.
And sometimes, I it’s a grace to write them down in honor of the thoughts behind them.
But always, always, I can count on my words to speak for themselves.
When they are good and ready.
I’m linking up with my brave Writer friends for Five Minute Friday over at Lisa-Jo Baker‘s online home. We commit to getting those words out for five minutes, unedited. Click the button below to join in or to read along.
Oh, Missy, I can relate, my friend 🙂
Love you take on the life ours words have, they indeed sometimes come of their own accord! Glad I was your neighbor here, and sorry it took me so long to get back to you!, I remember meeting you at Allume; you have a fantastic voice.
Yes! Praying for the words to come!
Oh, The wrong ones…Yes! I understand that! Grace training. 😉 Happy Friday, my friend! Indeedy.
I found this post through Five Minute Friday, and I am so glad I did. This is a great post.
