The following poem is dedicated to all the wonderful friends, poets and writers I have met here on line.
A writer can be anyone who writes just a simple line or two that speaks from their heart. Or a writer who writes from deep within their soul, thoughts that will
invade the mind with truth, honesty, even falsehoods.
TO WRITE A POEM
SONG TITLE: LOVE HAS MANY FACES
To write a poem, is to me
An awesome, mind searching task.
It is letting the spirit go
And taking off the mask.
It is telling others how we feel
Be it good, bad, or indifferent.
Be it of love, or friendship, or thoughts to ponder
It is about how our lives are spent.
We inscribe on paper, or email, a part of us
Pieces of knowledge, wisdom, bits of life.
Our joys, our successes, our loves.
Our pains, our guilts, our strife.
But I can't think of a much nicer way
To tell the "future" about the past.
Then to write a story or a poem
That will forever last.
Written March 24th. 1985
