I WRITE !!

I write the dictates of my heart,

I write the longings of my soul;

I write the struggles of the past,

I write the hope the future holds.

I write...I write!

I write the quandaries of life;

I write the things I understand.

I write the nuances of the night,

I write the language of the land!

I write...I write!

I write the song of sweet romance,

I write the dirge when out of tune;

I write of joy and sorrow’s dance.

I write the blueness of the moon!

I write...I write!

I write the smell of baby’s breath;

I write the creak of ancient knees...

I write the rhyme of birth and death;

I write the whispers of the trees.

I write...I write!

I write of family and of friends;

I write of mysteries of the mind.

I write the way a story ends;

I write of ever-marching time.

I write...I write!

I write of universal themes;

I write of the rhythm of a drummer,

I write of the sleep of wildest dreams;

I write of the sweltering heat of summer.

I write...I write!

I write, I write, I write non-stop!

I write until my pencil drops!

I write...it’s all I have to give;

I write, I write, I write to live!
