Write for the sake of writing Write for righting's sake. Fill the black page with light and your sunk ship will right! Turn turn from the capsize, turn turn from upside down your heart may feel keelhailed, but write for righting's sake. The ship will teeter, the ship will turn the ship will creek, or it may burn. But with a wave, a violent toss, it will right itself when all seems lost. Your heart may feel keelhauled but light will return, and the sails will fill when there's an end to this free-fall and an end to the spill. So write for writing's sake write for righting's sake. The clouds WILL clear and dawn WILL break! So, write for the keelhaul and write for the sake There's much more to live when there's more give for the take! |

Don't know so much about writing for the keelhaul, but if it gets you through the day have at it. Writing about the keelhaul sends shivers o'er me timbers, mate. The rest of it I say write-on for right-on's sake. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(!$! |

This absolutely sings to me, reminds me of the song~~ "I can see clearly now the rain is gone all of the dark clouds that had me blind" right for rightings sake....exactly!! |
