Our Have-To
Bees have got to make their honey.
Eagles need to soar to sky.
Dew must kiss the flowers’ faces,
and the wind must sigh.
Songbirds simply have to sing
and wolves howl at the moon.
Butterflies need to emerge
at last from their cocoon.
Instinct guides earth’s creatures, and
that is just the way
God has planned it. They express
what’s in their DNA.
People too have instincts,
but when it is through art
that we express ourselves,
we touch each other’s heart.
A poet garners little praise,
yet he will spend all night
composing poetry because
the poet has to write!
