Handwritten Letters.

Let me explain why I write.

Because, I love.
And love can travel
from where it resides, 
the nourished blood its host-
through the arteries
until it arrives to the fibers of the hand.

And through that hand, 
It acquires a voice. 
A vulnerable voice that speaks 
an honest language. 
Guiding the pen across the page, 
it speaks with no qualms- 
A steady stream of raw reality.

It is an art- 
because its form conveys emotion
and gifts the reader with something beautiful to behold.
It is a science-
because it inspires a sense of wonder
reconciling thought with creative output.

-and that's why I write.
