Ode to writing

if not for you… 

I would not know myself,

I would not delve into the depths of being,

I would not question why I am alive, why I exist or even what my purpose is foreseeing.

if not for you…

My thoughts would dissipate like hollow glances into space.

if not for you…

My words would end up lost, unwritten, unread, unpublished: a disgrace!

if not for you…

I’d never reach another, so intimately close. A heart to heart never knowing who’s heart, to enter, you chose.

if not for you…

My pain and grief would eat me up alive, I’d be unable to survive.

if not for you…

My sense of humor would not have found an audience of laughter and full of lust for more.

if not for you…

I’d be an utter bore!
