I write so memories I can recall;
While effortless at first, they soon dissolve.
I write to crystallize in written form
A vanished space and time while it’s still warm
In my minds’ eye and easily transposed
And can upon your mind be re-imposed.

I write emotions down upon the page
To set them free of this corporeal cage.
I write to clear my mind of dusty moths,
Which overwhelm with multitudes of thoughts,
And waves of feelings that I float upon,
Which build like ocean storms and toss me raw.

I write to catch the beauty of the worlds,
To purify their multi-facet swirls.
I write to sip the essence now distilled,
So when the world in darkness, woe, is chilled
Remember sunlight’s hidden undertow
And needs your heartfelt courage to re-sow.
