Refuge
"Writing is my refuge. It's where I go. It's where I find that integrity I have."
~ Charles Bartlett Johnson
Whenever my days seem long
and all my tasks turn out wrong,
And I wish the things I had not said
and feels like turning over and play dead...
Ha, I sit down ruefully and I write!
When someone somewhere gets hurt
When a lively flower bites the dirt
When somewhere someone’s heart breaks
and sneaks into a corner and quietly aches...
Oh, I sit down woefully and I write!
On the wings of the wind I write
On the waves of the sea I write
I write for all to see, feel and hear,
Write I about love, hate, faith and fear...
O yeah, lo! Now thou know why I write.
