To the one that I write

How wonderful is it to write.
To be a writer.

To dive head long into the imagination.
To find the soul and touch it.

To dream.
To dance across a blank page and
Fill it.

How wonderful is it to dream.

How wonderful is this gift
That is mine but for
A short while.

To the one that
I love.

To the one that
I write.

- Peter Hattingh

Very, very nice. My favorite line" "to dance across a black page" I would put the "and" that follows on the next line, rather than finish the line with "and."

It's simply spoken but flows with such ease. I liked this a lot.

I have nothing to say that would make this better.

Thanks for sharing,
john

I love the sentiment of this! I wish my BF would write something like this about me. Only one question/suggestion... Not sure of the proper grammar on the title and last line.. maybe To the one for whom I write? I love the illusion of dancing across a page... great job!
