My signature

I learned how to write.

I learned how to read.

All in my advantage.

I know the first letter of the alphabet

and the very last one, according to modern ways.

I understand how to listen to a story

when it has been told, more than two times.

Because I think twice when I made a signature

once, for a whole human race.

I type blind and act blindly

while silence of the wind is a guidance.

It is silent here and everywhere, somewhere

because a writer’s block does not exist in my vocabulary.

A whisper has been heard.

It was a man. He has a silence in his ears.

I can understand, it sounds beautiful

and it does but someone has to tell you,

a writer and an author do write like a poet.
