Reflections #13 - Why I Write



I slept a restless slumber
Days grew in number,
Until I could not bear
It breaks me, I did fear!
But then my trusty friend
On that shelf lying at the end,
Looked at me pleading
Oh you, who is bleeding!
Make me the messenger of your tale;
So that tonight you sleep well.
I wrote all day, I wrote all night
Till another knew this lover’s plight.
But I grew a sickness no doubt
Cause it did not stop with that shout.
I wrote of happy days, and sad,
Of days of peace and those so bad!
And as I go to sleep this night,
I spy my friend, little out of sight
Thank you, I cry, thank you so dearly!
You made me see life so clearly,
Black stains on canvas they may be
A man’s lifetime it is for all to see!
