The Script
Gisela Vigil 1959 (Cuba)
A writer writes
not for the fame and applause,
maybe for passion or cause,
for the Earth’s spinning, a pause.
A writer writes
to speak of words kept unsaid,
thoughts still asleep in a bed
or to feed questions unfed.
A writer writes
whispers of noise still unheard.
Flames of a fire are stirred
simply with spark of a word.
About this poem
We all are inspired by different sources and write for many reasons. It is a talent, also a gift to have the courage to show the world a mirror to our souls.
