All I Need


Words are a dance, 

performed by the tounge and the heart and the hand, 

together they perform-

giving passion, and power to my thoughts, 

that would otherwise strangle my being.

Who dares question, 

the reason I write, 

for it is liking questioning

why I breathe.

I write because my heart tells me too

and that is all the reason I need.
