Why I Write?

Mama - to you.

"I'm slow of thought and slow of tongue" -
a humble ring, a solid rung.
How feebly we reach out, when young:
Oh "love-dove" songs, so oversung.

Fall shambles of the pen, trite, trite
and yet, instead of burning,
trash we write.

Maturity, please come,
Ignite - my graphite!

Truth's simple. Wisdom -- crystal sonnet.
Why I write ?
to mop up stale pearls, like vomit.

To the Divine grace I nod and say,
"A truth unspoken, if I may",
to bring a new prism, and be fit
to shine an iridescent light through it.
