Ode to Pens MAG
April 30, 2021
Sophisticated wand
I twirl you with a wizard’s flourish
Your blood births the fruits
of my thoughts
And spills like juice down the lips
of the page
How grateful I am that I can never
be silenced
Not as long as I hold you in my grasp
Within your ink lies
The secrets of my universe
A key in each written
W – O – R – D
The fading of your life can be traced
in each line
And never have I wept as much
as when you pass
Thank you,
Oh sweet scribe of mine
You are all my questions
Asked and answered
Signed with the autograph
of my inner knowing
A writer, you’ve made of me.
