Writing poetry can be a lonely process,
How many people respond to what is written?
Is anyone’s guess!
Sometimes I wonder,
Am I a voice crying in the wilderness?
Or do I make a difference
To someone’s life?
Maybe, ease the burden of,
Their trouble and strife!
Why does one bother to write anyway,
It is just a matter of,
I need to have my say?
The process of writing is not always easy,
There are times, when nothing appears in my mind.
And, sometimes the right words,
Are not there, or easy to find!
Yet, when we have been given a talent,
We must continue to persist,
The desire to keep writing, is hard to resist!
There are times, when I wonder,
Am I just a voice in the wilderness?
Who knows,
In spite of this, I will continue the process!
