THIS WRITING LIFE When something lost within me, started searching and to seek When something deep within me needed way to somehow speak My mind it took direction and outlet through a pen And each day since it’s called on me to write and write again Somehow a pathway to my soul was opened up to share The hidden thoughts I used to have, now for the world was there I found it was my outlet which gave my mind a rest It started with just simple things, then of what life would test My writing life has changed me, at times not all for good It’s made me find a strength inside that once I never would It’s offered me a freedom; or lets say a place to hide I write it all and find somehow within it I confide I’ll write today and then forget the things I wrote to share Once down the lines are just a blur as if they were not there But if I read them in their verse, that moment does return When my mind and pen did dance to scribe a thought, concern There are voices that are singing, some crying sad and long Angels that are helping all the voices to belong Myself but just the go-between that tries to set things right The puddle that the quill does dip, the fuel to make it write And everyday a little more I write down of my time A thought of inspiration with another line to rhyme But for me it’s a diary to which I can return I write now so that others may a little of me learn |

Rick, it is good to see you write. So often we do not even know what we are feeling or thinking until we have said it or written it.. But once written down and read, even if just for ourselves we have a better grasp on who we are and what we are really thinking. Sometimes there just does not seem to be anyone around who wants to listen or join in a conversation. Writing is the way we learn to communicate, again, even if to yourself.. best to you, martyjo |

martyjo, thank you so much for your reply here, you are so right in what you say, lovely to have you visit, keep writing my friend. Dear Lee, sooo good to see you as well my friend, without our writing where would we be? I just love being able to share, it somehow brings us out of ourselves and closer to others, great to see you Lee, catch up again soon. Sincerely Rick |

Rick, very moving piece, now one of my favorites of yours... we all write for our own reasons, different reasons  |
