Whispered Wanderings

Why am I writing every day?
It’s just my way.
What do I hope to accomplish?
To astonish!
But what if I cannot, you ask?
I’ll wear a mask.

Then I shall start a brand new task…
Writing poems that will somehow last
beyond the point when I have passed:
It’s just my way. To astonish, I’ll wear a mask.
