Why I Write

How much can a heart hold?

Is it boundless, limitless infinite?

Such emotions swell out of my being

Like the pot is full and can't hold anymore

Force me to hold it all

I may implode in the swelling emotions

Force me to express

I may whistle out; choke on my feelings

Let the thoughts, my pains, my joys

All escape me gracefully as the melting of snow

These my words pour out of my being - bit by bit

I flow out of these on to you, your world - drop by drop

Like the moonlight that wraps the night - you see or not

my words kiss your world – you read or not
