I like the imagery of this poem.

Subject: [stylist] Anoterh tumbling tercet but with an envoi

Here is the example I said I'd send.  It is in  email but I have also
attached it. If you have trouble opening it  do let me know. This tumbling 
tercet
includes the envoi although it is  a very short envoi.  I do hope everyone
enjoys the  read.

Myrna

After The Ink Spills

In the stillness of an ordinary moment
Is heard a  whisper, an almost breathless
Miracle of words tumbling into

An opened jar of ink, and I listen
With a heart in  need of their wisdom,
Their joy, their journeys, and  their

Love, and my hand, trembling with
Creativity's  anticipation, reaches for
The pen being held in the  arms

Of an empty palette, safely comforted
Until the  time is right, until the
Passion, the sweet voice of words, of painted

Metaphor, is perfect.  I wait, barely
Breathing, unsure of where I will be taken,
But willing to acquiesce, to  trust,

To believe in creativity's path, to
Believe in the  art of writing, always
Knowing that all will be revealed to  me

After the ink spills.
