A line or two I read
  to you;
do  you hear the life
  flow through?

Are these mere words -
or do they live;
do you feel the life
they give?

Do your heart and soul
cry out;
as words unfold and share
life's plight.

A line or two I read
to you;
do you hear the life
flow through?

we do what we do, 'cause we feel what we feel"

Very very good Dee.   I love to read and hear poetry about why and how we write poetry.  This poem to me symbolizes a part of the very essence behind why I write.

"Do you hear the life
flow through?"

I have to ask myself that upon finishing any particular piece.  And if the answer is no...it's back to the keyboard to write and re-write some more.  

Thanks for sharing.

Chris.
