Part 1: The Writing

You write because you must.
It’s confusing, like puberty.
Feelings, images, words collide,
Falling, pushing you
Into spaces/places
Known/unknown.
Puzzle pieces
Delivered in an envelope
With no return address
Releasing sandy storms of words
Rearranging furniture
Shattering glass
Surrounding you.
But each time you find you.

 

Part 2: The End

God dropped in for a game
Of “Writer Challenge.”
Any format: story, poem,
Essay mathematical formula, song,
Revisions of classics,
Free form, free style,
Any subject: you, them,
Us, people (real, imaginary),
Whatever, whenever.

No Restrictions:
Anybody from any here.
You whoever you are.
You decide
God accepts.
