Its nice to be here doing what I absolutely enjoy – writing! Come rain, sunshine, hard times, laughter or sadness, writing is the one thing that makes sense and gives me a chance to straighten out my thoughts and feelings.
Here is a piece of what I think about writing. It may make sense to you or not; or it may prompt you to pursue your own writing. Whatever the case, know that this is an awesome tool of expression that God gave mankind:
I write as I must
I write because I must write
I cannot wait till tomorrow – will be too late
Tender shoots springing up cannot be ignored
The strains of words I hear must grow louder
Till the notes and poems are brought to life
I cling to new indelible thoughts
I hold fast passing waves of notions
I prod the swollen stream of ideas
That burst open soon as I will to write
The shores of my intellect teem
With graceful curvature of verse upon verse,
Totally free and green
Decked with wonderful inspiration;
Comforting and uplifting.
I therefore must write, if not for myself,
to produce new thoughts as fresh fruits of a tree;
then at least to complement the voices of other writers
welling up in this wide ocean of creative writing.
