Why Write?

Mostly I write, to get it right,

How things seem to me, in perfect light.

Sometimes about angles, shapes and colours,

Sometimes about things, behind tightly bound shutters.

Sometimes I write, to get it out,

Of things on the inside, I can do without.

Then there are times, when there’s nothing to read,

And so my words unsheathe tales, to see where they lead.

Paper and ink- is all I need to write,

Purpose and vision, to keep that story in sight.

Yet mostly I write, to get it right,

How things seem to me- in perfect light.
