I write to live and live to write

I came up with the line I just used for my title I think three years ago.

What does writing mean to me?

I answer this in a poem:

Writing

Writing is the beat of my heart

The thrumming and the drumming

The whirling and the twirling of the baton 

As the marching band marches on

 Writing is the night

That lulls me to sleep

Rocking me like a tiny baby

The lullaby is the words 

That pour forth onto the blank page

The beautiful words that waft through the air

Sung on the night's dark wings

Soft, sweet, serene

Writing is the day
The rising sun saying hello
The light shining into my soul
Pushing me to write
Inspiring, motivating, fulfillment

Writing is love
The soft caress and gentle kiss
Of words coming together
Of words making beautiful sentences
That turn into paragraphs and scenes
Full of wonder and excitement

Writing is my passion
I write to live
And live to write

So yeah, that was kind of lame, but that's how I feel about writing, my one true love. :)
