Like ships upon the trackless sea- We often meet and pass. Flotsam on the sea of life... We never touch, alas! Like hails across a hopeless void- We touch each others heart... With words wrung out by passions, And our poetic art. What is poetry you ask? Why, friend, it’s drops of blood Drawn from a wounded spirit- A cascade, yea, a flood- To flow unhindered to the sea, As we gasp out our pain. Determined we’ll be heard this once- If never heard again. Grafitti down the halls of time- Like children in the dark- Determined that our memory lives... We have to make our mark! So write! so speak! let shine your light! Words graven as in stone- Like fireflies on a moonless night... We simply must...”Write On”!

Gunslinger, I really like this, but I guess you knew I would since it incorporates my motto, or at least one of them.  write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Slinger~ 'Grafitti down the halls of time' I really like this line of thought ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I got very emotional (which is a kind way of saying my nose is now running and my eyes are red-rimmed *S*) when reading this... particularly the 3rd and 4th verses... You've captured well the lure of the pen for many, including this piece of flotsam... we write because we must. Well done! |
