Always something

I write when I hear cries of dismay

I write when I’ve got nothing to say.

I write when my son paints the dull world for me,

I write when he says he’ll always be there for me.

I write when I miss talking to a friend,

I write when I’ve got a relationship to mend.

I write when I see someone wishing to fly,

I write when I see them falling and cry.

I write when I see people gazing at stars,

I write when they wipe out their scars.

I write when I see myself jumping on cloud nine,

I write when I long for something that’s not mine.

I write when I see someone dancing and sing,

I write when someone makes it to a diamond ring. 

I write when the snow melts on far-off mountains,

I write when the sun glimmers through fountains.

I write to express how much I love to write,

I write to proclaim, I’m the wind, I’m the kite.
