I write <br />For the love of the words <br />I write for snowflakes and <br />Pained Daisies swaying in the summer breeze <br />I write for Shawn, fighting in Iraq, keeping me safe <br />I write for gentle spring rain and <br />The rustle of fallen autumn leaves <br />I write for Katherine Neville and her masterpiece, The Eight <br /> <br />I write for Christmas carols and <br />Halloween chocolate <br />I write for Bill, who always saves me and <br />For John, in the arms of the angels, now <br />I write for Thunderstorms in August and <br />The songs and the voice on Gravity’s Rainbow <br />I write for you, James <br />For the whispers in my ear <br />The song that’s on my lips <br />The beating in my heart <br />For the quaking in my voice and <br />The shaking in my knees <br />For the glimmer in your eyes <br />The fingers on my spine <br />The sunlight in your smile and <br />The loving in your soul<br /><br />Raymond J Wright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-write-8/
