Don'T Fight It - Write It

Don’t Fight It – Write It When the urge to write – speaks listen…don’t fight it… write it. When the canoe tips over don’t fight it….right it. When the winds of praise fill your billowing sails, beware the capes of hope where all wind fails. Allow the “Muse” free rein but never rule for she may quell the pen as you play writing’s fool. Write with passion of your pain, soothing lovers walking through the rain. Grant unspoken truth a voice to speak lend the power of your pen to those once weak. Embrace the subtle shiftings in your style resisting them is writing’s last denial. Write within your soul’s unblinking sight for you - are you - and know that you must write. John G.
