The Composer
Notebook tucked under my chin
Back hunched over
Pen moving across paper as a bow over strings
The gentle scratch of written words
This is the music I make
Not heard aloud but seen
Coming alive in a mind
I am a composer
Of silent ballads and symphonies
A cacophony of words that
Overpowers the largest orchestra
Changing moods and minds like a sonnetta
A silent scraem for help or attention like
The saxaphone that plays outside of the theatre
But pay me not in money
Acceptance and understanding and joy work instead
I am a conductor of letters and words
Poetry, not music but that's all the same
Lost within it, I am free
