Why I Write: A Poem by Yolanda Billingslea

Happy Sunday to all of you. I do hope that you are enjoying this day.

Today I am sharing with you a poem that I wrote in 2003 titled, Why I Write.

Why I Write

I write to excavate

To captivate

To resuscitate

the mind and soul

Yesss

Indeed

I write...

To excite

To delight

And perhaps ignite the fire

extinguished by yesterday

To relieve

To breath

To leave this world

and journey to another place

I write...

To show our connections

To affirm imperfections

To express dejection

I write to be free

I write...

For the high it gives

For the emotions that live

To share my gift

I write...

To love me

___________

God loves you. Be well.

Love and peace,

Yolanda Billingslea (Ms. B)
