Like the first time...

• Description: Its been along time since I last sat done and shared my heart and feels with others through the gift of the pen and paper. I wrote this as I sat and ponder how it felt to be back writing again.

It feels strange
yet somehow invigorating
Like a patient in the hostipal
learning to walk once again
I feel the joy again
I feel the release once more
I feel like I have again
found the key to my soul
For the longest time
I sat tugging at the rust door
the door to my mind
the door to my heart
maddness had rusted its hinges
loneliness had eating away its exterior
but it stood there, through every rain
and through every storm
And know again
I am opening that door
I am tugging and pulling as hard as I can
to release the feelings and thoughts I locked away
The door is opening again
little by little
The dust from the rust falling to the floor
the paint ripping off from my efforts
the door as cracked open
and while the feeling is not as strong as it use to be
it is there
like a tiny flame in the darkness of night
it is there
and so tenderly and gengerly
I began to aquiant myself once again
with the feeling, with the passion
with the power
Like the old master drawing his sword again
like the aged painter picking up his dusty brush
Like the man learning to walk again
I learning to write once again

....just like the very first time

Favorite what more does there need to be said?

'and know again' at that point most writers would've put 'now' but it's striking the way you worded it.
I'm not much of a writer anymore, but even without prior studies in language and poetry that's a moving piece.
That in and of itself means you have the stuff of greatness in you.
5/5
