Why I Write
I write to keep thoughts
From taking the lead
And I write so I don’t forget
Some insignificant detail
Or to compare the insane thoughts
Of my youth with those just written.
And I write to keep brain
Synapses sending their little
Messages to a body that
Doesn’t respond so well anymore.
But most of all I write to
Keep my friends and family
And myself
In the loop of life.
Yes... you summed up my thoughts too! Only you did it so much better than I've ever thought of doing. Good poem Milan. Very good.
