THE GIFT OF WRITING

THE GIFT OF WRITING

A Poem by Eddie Phillips

I write sometimes to rhythm

I write sometimes to rhyme

I write whatever comes to me

No matter what the time

 

My writing can be therapeutic

It can help you to survive

It can relieve the horrid pressure

This world puts on our lives

 

Some just call us writers

I don't think it's so

I say we are scribes

Documenting man's Earthly goals

 

God tasked poets to catalogue

He gave us the beauty of words

We are the tabulators

Of the good, the bad, and absurd

 

It is a gift of sheer perception

A talent used to incite

It is a call direct from Heaven

This auspicious gift to write

 

I would not change my calling

I have learned to accept its goals

I will just continue writing

As God enlightens my soul
