Voices-of-Nature

I write because I hear the whispers of my ancestors.

I do my best to give them life in a world they would not understand, but their voices certainly need to be heard.

I write to collect the souls lost in the Middle Passage. Souls of broken origins that forever languish in the sea.

I write because it is all I have ever been, a writer.

I write because I often think if I ignore one voice; the person looking for that inspiration, may not find their way, or I might lose mine.

I write for you, the reader, known and unknown. Praying with each word, I impart my perspective on subjects you have given little or no thought.

I write because if I did not, I would cry, and I much prefer my words on paper than tears on my pillow.
