Write On!

codes: poem
by Jack C Lipton
(Main Page)


I wrote this on hearing about the passing of another author known as "Simple Man". While I have not read every one of his stories, I thought about where I stood, and... this came out.

I think it can apply to almost any of the writers I rub shoulders with...


Shadows shall hover over us all
our ends be assured some day
days pass by as we breathe deep
our voices be heard to day

Voices disappear upon our end
the words we wrote ne'er fade
hearts be shown when we hit send
when readers read we're paid

For bequeath'd to those still living
the words from our hearts and souls
reminders to those that we have been
google and asstr's memory be goals.


Some additional thoughts...

We each carry stories within our hearts yet hide them.

We think we are alone in pain knowing not how it is shared.

We have chosen to give voices to our yearnings.

We have breathed life into those we animate.

Our creations can then live beyond us in other's hearts.

We take our place in the vast cycle of creation.
