Why Do I Write Poem by Arti Chopra

I hope with my words
I can stir a soul,
I hope with my verse
I can reach my goal,
to write with a purpose
to make one think,
to reflect on the words,
words of pen and ink,
to stir up emotions
to resolve to be humane,
to understand others sorrows
who express their pain,
to marvel at this world
to be in tune with the Lord
to never severe
the divine umblical cord,
words are only words,
but when strung up together
can sink your heart like lead,
or make it fly like a feather,
I write and express
and I strive towards my goal,
I hope with my words
I can stir a soul...
