Why Do I Write?

Write because you have learned words as a child Write because you have pen between your fingers Or have a blinking computer before your eyes. Write because you love to play and dance with music in running waterfalls, streams, lakes and rivers. Write because you are alive with humming notes in your mind; Write because you have ears to the strings of flute and mandolin Write because you have eyes to nature’s harmony and perfection in the songs of birds, the birth of seeds and budding of flowers. Write because you are a witness to the great voices of life. Write because your heart is pumping blood through your arteries, veins and vital organs Write because you have much to write about.. Write because poetry in your heart beacons you to write. Keep on writing, dear friend, and start right now!
