We Write

 

We write
because we are so drawn
we write although not planned
 
By circumstance and some
by chance
we write because we can
 
We write for ourselves
for others too
it becomes our legacy
 
We write because
we're driven to-
for immortality.

Only the really great achieve immortality through writing, and even they go in and out of fashion. It's a way to express feelings and share tragic or happy feelings, so if someone else finds something in them it's v gratifying. Interesting.

Love the sentiments and poem David. I also want to 'like' and second Keith's comment. ?

This is an interesting poem. I write usually when inspired. This inspiration can take many forms. It may come from something topical, the words or comment of another, a scene or story related. I write for personal pleasure sometimes as a cathartic means of release. If others read my work then it is something of an accolade which I find satisfying. Writing is in part the work of the soul.

Thank you for this

Keith
