The cadence of the tapping of the keyboard beats like a heart, bringing life back to a mind that lay dormant during the long winter of events. The wings of the mind begin to unfurl as creativity swirls in the brain. As the wings begin to rise and fall, they sync with the rhythm of the keys. Slowly, at first, the sentences tumble onto the page and begin to level out, beating strong, developing a life of their own. Fingers arched, hovering over the keys in perfect formation, the thoughts begin to fill the page. Inspiration, the desire to be someone else, someone new, brings a novel out of the steady beat. Thoughts, contrasts, dreams take on a life of their own. The excitement causes the pace to pick up. With determination, she begins to tap her teeth with her tongue to the rhythm of the keyboard. Her feet begin to join as the characters become real. Her heart soars over the dismal weather and the shoddy circumstances as she lives a different life on paper. The anticipation of what is to come fuels her fire. Hope begins to take flight as she labors over this work of art. The disappointments that she has seen take on a whole new life. The bitterness begins to dissipate as the wheels turn in her head. The fate of the people she writes about is bringing healing to her own disappointments. The steady beat of the battered heart as it begins to beat again is living on the pages of creativity. She finds joy and happiness. There is resolution in the masterpiece that brings the healing process to a complete cycle. Moving forward, she picks up momentum. The jubilant triumph of giving birth to something new puts a fire in her heart to truly live again, instead of merely writing about it. As she retires that night, exhausted with creation, she hears that rhythm that she typed with, resonating in the chambers of her heart to the depths of her soul. She falls asleep satisfied, full of hope, promise and dreams of what can happen tomorrow.
