For the writer not to be read, then he might as well be dead…

Poem Artwork

My poetry is my soul,


My poetry is my love,


My poetry is just me,


My poetry is my life…


 


I write to be read,


I write to be said,


I write to be heard,


It seems I write a lot of the turd…


 


I write of life,


I write for life,


I write about life,


I write with life in mind…


 


I enjoy to be read,


It is like life’s bread,


A kind word or not given,


To be seen I have been driven,


I try not to, of you, mislead…

Ed, You are an excellant writer. Someday you should think about publishing your own books. Yes, you do write from your heart. That is a fine quality for a writer to have too.

Ed, You are one of the backbones of this site!!! Sprinkled in between your words of expression are thoughts that only you can express so eloquently. Only you can touch the subject matter that none of dare to try. Keep em coming!!!

We all have our reasons for writing, but we post here to be read, I suppose; to bounce our thoughts off of others or to cause others to hear our voice. Perhaps our words will help anoher through a personal struggle or awaken a new thought for them...that is my hope of my writing.
Take care,
Sherry

Ed:

You always write from the bottom of your heart. That is why your poetry is so expressive. Ho can anyone not read you, one who speaks so genuinely of life?

Wonderful photo.!

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.

Enlightenment Dialogues: A Journey of Post-metaphysical Onliness Awake by Martin Treon

This combined narrative dialogue and play is about the uncreated, unborn and undying transcendent Self of God-consciousness and Buddha-nature. It describes an odyssey of transcendent Consciousness Awakening and Remembrance.
