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.
