Where Do The Word Go

Where do the words go

If I don’t put the pen to the paper

Will I find them again

Or shall they go to another

I am fearful when I have no paper

And words drop to my lap

I want to capture them

Not for fame

And certainly not for fortune

But because I can create

I must create

To make something

From a phrase

Weave it into a poem

And lay it down

As part of my life
