Writing Now Poem by Shalom Freedman

WRITING NOW

It is not even have to be about anything
It does not know what it is about
It is a feeling
It has to be done
It has to be done now
I can do it
I have it within me
And now is the time
I won’t have it later
Now is the time I have the feeling
I must write I can write I have it in me
Now is the time to write
And I write
I am writing now
And this is what living means now
This is what doing what I was meant to do now means
This is meaning in life now
I am doing it
I am writing
Now here and now this morning
I am doing I have done
What I am meant to do
And even if this poem is finished
Perhaps there is more too in me now.
