Compelled

I am compelled to write So as the sun can’t help but shine So is the pen that I call mine So as the trees can’t help but grow So does the page I’ve come to know And of a bird that doesn’t fly Perhaps, I know the reason why To cage the purpose meant to be Can stay the reason to be free I am compelled to feel So as I manifest my mind So are the thoughts that I may find So as I feel my way through words I think of eager, soaring birds

So as the sun can’t help but shine--So as the trees can’t help but grow--this is so you, Mike. A lovely verse from an accomplished poet. Well done my friend.
