Is This Why We Write?

Day 6: What dwells within the unconscious mind?

What is this grist mill Where we manufacture words Strung together, aimed?

A biting satire Or perhaps lyrical theme Ever sparks the soul

Answers sought in ink Self propel, ignite the sense A truth found intact

A legacy born From behind the writer’s eyes Illuminates us.
