Sweet everything.

When I write, it’s an opportunity to renew my spirit. That’s why I write every day. I need constant revitalization. And I find it. In meaningful words. Often, it takes only a single thought. Put into words that move the spirit. A love letter will suffice. But I find other ways, too. One of my favorites. A prose poem. I’m not writing for other people. Or so I tell myself. Maybe that’s a lie. It’s more a case of trying to satisfy myself. Rather than others. I’m addressing my soul. My inner spirit. In ways that make me feel alive. Extraordinarily so.  I measure my pulse. With a finger on my throbbing spirit. A wonderful beat. Sweet music. Sweet rhythm. Sweet everything. –Jim Broede
