A Secret Chord

What do you enjoy most about writing?

“Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord”-Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

There are very rare moments when I’ve written a few lines of prose, maybe a paragraph, a chapter, or a short story and it touches me to my core. Or maybe a few lines of poetry that actually say what I meant AND rhymes. At those moments, I think perhaps I’ve written something good enough that others might like it, even appreciate it. I know I’m not a great. I’m merely okay, but I have occasional flashes of brilliance and maybe it pleases someone besides myself.
