Writing

Nowadays people write to be heard

As if writing just to write

Is entirely absurd

 

As if being heard

Makes a word a word 

But I have to let my words fly Like a bird

 

Whether or not they have been read

Because my feelings and thoughts

escaping relieved burdens as they fled

 

As they flew to the blank white pages

Their print was left in my own writing

 

There to last through the ages
