Why Not Write It? by G. Lumbroso

When I woke up this morning
the sun didn’t greet me,
and I was feeling too tired
to emerge with much glee.

It was “one of those days”
I could already feel it,
If only pushing “reset”
had been an optional secret.

Then I remembered
that I was a writer
and with paper and pen
I could make things righter.

The morning, I could restart
on a brighter note
The sun could shine
And I could quote

From my heart’s contents
bringing things to the front
that were harbored within
and would surface for want

Of being heard, and uttered
to move and become
my thoughts unfettered,
inspiration for some.

Yes, that was it, that’s
what I could do;
rewrite the script,
and paint a new view.

I love the way words
clothe the imagination’s mullings,
how they conjure up shapes
and give ideas wings.

Why they give us power
to rework our worlds;
no need to just stand there
as if caught in a wind's swirl.

No, writing can make
getting up joyful,
can add sunshine, rain, wind
snow, by the handful...

Write, that is it,
with my pen and words,
I can create anything,
I am now undeterred.

These lines I then dedicate
to all you who read them,
Unleash your muse now
give your ideas freedom!

As I stand here and bow,
before you my public,
let’s give a hand to words,
for they truly hold great magic!
