Why do I write?

		
I write because there might be something\

someone hasn’t said yet,\

because there’s treasure to be kept,\

because words on paper listen\

and yet do not answer back\

unless I ask them to,\

because this language is too beautiful\

to lie in dusty dictionaries,\

because some things can’t be spoken.\

I write to celebrate the endless possibilities,\

the infinite connections.\

I write because I can.
