Just because

I write because I dream

I dream because it’s my nature

To capture a picture -- a perception

When inspiration comes in letters warm

Flood colors and words that storm

A journey into the unreal

A cosmos of a transient appeal

I write because I dream

I dream because I like to phase out

And blow like a light zephyr in early springtime

And watch myself cool off

Slow down the friction before you catch fire

Before you burn into ashes of forgotten desire

Without answers that make any sense

I write because I dream

It is my personal space to beam

Out ---annoying and troubling thoughts

as the mind rushes into knots

When loneliness has been put to the test

And friendship has returned to its nest

& love once again has been chosen to rest

I write just because...
