Last Rite

Last Rite

A Poem by Mauricio Montoya

Do my words melt
before it hits the ground
Like snow of forgotten lore
Deep in my thoughts
Robert siad a wagon
Would be my doom
Before I take my sleep
Yet I write when wrong
And never when right
But time has passed
And so has frost
As cold it may be
I find peace
In that I believe
But never true
Yet I still write
Finding my words
Will ever loom
Not in a cart
like so many
Yet I will in my right
From my heart
Write that,
What is deep

What is deep within you will always find a way to express itself. Sometimes, all it takes is a little nurturing, a little time to refresh and revitalize the senses. Good things come to those who wait!

WOW,, thank you,it's a good way to put it
Happy new year Mauricio. May you continue to write what is in your heart. A writer is compelled. The words just have to reach the page. There is never a right or wrong time.

You write because you are compelled to write. Us writers need no excuse, it is in our blood.
