Random lines connect

 Make words, stories

To fill a page with life

Sorrow and joy

Suspense and surprise

Each mark takes away

Lines of suffering

Etched onto the face

Add a tear or smile

Laugh or cry

Each line builds upon 

The shoulders of the last

Shaping a plot to excite

Words filling page after page

Pieces connecting

Joining to create an image

A painting, beautiful in every way

Step back and see

Enjoy and savor

This is the life of a writer
