When We Write Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

We yearn to create something beautiful
When the ink craft fully spills down to paper
We wish to make every letter etch its impression
When we write the conscience in our mind is clear
We pray that every letter finds its place in your heart

Whether in joy or anguishing in pain
When we write we write with a passion
Whether the subject is dear to our hearts
Or causing tears to our eyes we write
We write with a purpose at times known
At times dark and unknown as the pearl of the night

We write with zeal, we write under dimming flames
When we write we pour out our minds
We relish every curve of every letter
Every syllable special, every vowel conspicuous
In consonance with the will deep within we write
