Writing

Writing could be a hobby
so much like photography
to capture humanity
in all its beauty, vanity or humility,
or inconsistency.
To capture nature
the mundane, you think for sure
will always be there tomorrow,
but when vanished, will bring you sorrow.

Writing could be a therapy
to an aching heart that used to be pain free,
to a lost soul that has found itself.
to a chained life, not without language,
to a free soul that helps heal others.

Writing has always been there
be it a pictograph or a petroglyph
on papyrus or clay tablets.
Take it with a warm embrace
and let go of your every breath.
