Hiding In the Flow

Ask me not for which I write I simply wish to share my plight Searching for answers, one little clue I don’t understand the things that I do I reckon I lost it somewhere in a tear Shed over someone that I hold dear But how can I find it, where did it go? I think its hiding somewhere in the flow The flow seems as natural as it can be My own special way of dealing with me The thing about writing is that I love to learn Somewhere along the way we all get our turn Our turn is crucial and there’s no going back I swear, I could get lost on a small oval track I reckon that’s the thing I love about our site I shall never get lost, not as long as I write To me writing is not just joy it is also a key That opens the door and then sets my soul free

your flow is continuous and wonderful. i think you write with your heart. that is what i do... i never write until it is on my mind and then i lay it down in words and it is cheaper than therapy. i do love your writing. janetta

You took the words out of my mouth. writing is our selfish act.

Thanks MJ, I had to revise it...I left off the explanation of the creation. lol...We both know why we write..it's to relieve stress and emotion, and a little pat on the back doesn't hurt. Oh Mr. Ego has to eat every now and then even if it is humble pie! Keep writing, I love your work and your commentary..Thanks!-AA

Gorgeous write Michael, Everyone is blessed with a gift, but they are not all writers.."You my friend, Truly are in every way possible...I am happy you set free what was locked up inside you and now it's flowing out like a river..~Beautifully~....I used to keep everything bottled up inside until I found my pen and my paper..That changed everything- then I started pouring it all out, good or bad...I just started writing..I am glad I found this site and friends like you..God Bless YF4L Tyesha

I truly couldn't be happier for you Mike. Freeing your soul is absolutely the most important thing you could do and you have tremendous power to help others in the same gesture. Don't ever give up.
