To Live Or Write

Is it better to sit and write or to live the picture I see? Though I try with all my might, the two to do are hard for me. Time is the price that is paid, while looking with thoughtful eye. The thing of which I'm most afraid is that the world will pass me by. 10/22/18

Hello Wren, I like this poem. Do what you like write when you feel like it. Then live the picture you see. Have a nice evening my friend.

I believe that when you do what you love; living in the moment; that life is not passing you by. It's how you perceive it that matters. Doing what you love, is a big part of, living. Beautiful pen.

I think you are right about doing what you love. I am new to writing and don't know how to feel about it yet. But sometimes I get stuck, writers block I guess and find myself writing about writing. I guess that is what this poem is about. thank you ML for your comments they encourage me. Have a wonderful night my friend.
