Writing

To pen by light of darkness
With only the moonlight to guide me
Wondering... just wondering 
Who I am inside
I know I am me 
But who would me be 
A writer for writing
Passion for which
Is never relenting
Engaging delights
Living within imagination 
True to form, I am me 
A writer for writing 
Writing to please

Some interesting ideas here. I like the first line...it says to me that most of us who write poetry are seldom really sure what a poem is going to say until we are well on the way to writing it! Regards, Robert.
