~ink and voice

A Poem by Katherine Wyatt

~I write because someone once told me to give it a try
I was a scholar and poetry seemed absurd then..

I write because it helps me to grieve, or to celebrate...
to remember with some kind of honor something or someone in the past
who made life shine for a moment

life is a series of moments and those that shine are worthy of being remembered
in ink and spoken aloud

I write because it helps me remember who I Am... and who I want to be

I write because I live between here and eternity and the words
are an attempt to bridge that spaciousness


.. I write to make money and I Am alright with that
sometimes it helps people...
and they learn to write with a little more clarity

I write when I see angels or when I love so deeply I cannot contain it....

I write to bleed but not get stuck in the wound..

I write with the quill of angels wings .. a feather.. so many touch my life..
.
what grace in those rendezvous

then there are those writings that make me laugh..
.. more importantly, they make other people laugh

this is the best writing of all it seems

to write is to live and breath inspired...

...moon and grace

I am the song the trees whisper in the wind. I am the strength of the mighty mountains. I am the song of the birds in the morn. I am always being reborn. I am a traveler in and out of space and time... more..
