Courage
Or
Writing Your Novel
© May 11, 2015
By Vijaya Sundaram
Let your person sprout her wings
Let her fall on small blue things.
Let him stand up really tall or
Make him shrivel up so small.
Let him quarrel, let her fight
Let them be wrong, and then be right.
Let them love and let them hate
Show them truth early or late.
Let them die, or let them live
Let them take, and let them give.
Lead them from each other,
Back to sister, brother, father, mother.
Make their friends their fiercest foes
So they can stumble, fall and know
What living is, what life can be.
And thus your novel is reality.
