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.
