Some write for enjoyment, laughs, and fun,
Writing about love, happy endings, and the sun.
Others feel shadows lurking by them close,
Writing what they feel like doing the most.  
There are some who feel so much,
Wanting to write characters that you could almost touch. 
You pour out your heart and soul,
Even if it's as black as coal. 
Always looking, always searching,
For the story that's always lurking,
Somewhere, just somewhere.
Look closely, and maybe you'll find it there.
Catch it, grab it! Before it escapes!
Feel it, write it! Good god, make haste!
Before that melody slips away with the breeze,
and the words are gone, too far away to seize.
Words to sentences, alone with no meaning,
But you can fill it with emotions, hopes and dreams, wonderful feelings.
Turn those sentences into a story so believing, 
And only then my friend, is it seeing.
