Righting
The Writers Club
Sent by the Universe just to see
What kind of people speak with pens,
Privately I wondered, would I fit?
Should I laugh a little less brightly?
Observing and absorbing seemed the safest behavior.
I came from a place of searching.
Hoping to connect.
Wondering if other eyes see what mine see.
I took a big step in heavy shoes…and found Oz.
Faces flooded the room
The artist, the joker, the cynic
And then they began to ooze realness
fear
fantasy
too fat to phone
Beautiful children surfaced gently
In smile, words and sighs
My body said “Yes” silently, loudly.
There are others and they are close.
Thank you for two hours of glue to hold my week together.
People of the pen gather to give their specialness voice.
Sing their real song.
It's more than writing,
Writers gather to right themselves.
--Donna Spivey
