Desk
The light-colored wood is cold
and yet under my fingers it is sturdy and firm and strong.
The scars upon this surface are its history
all that it has seen I may never know.
The light-colored wood is cold
and yet the longer I sit, the warmer it gets.
The polished top is ingrained with writing marks
and the multitude of lives who have sat upon it.
The light-colored wood is cold
and yet it is the warmest life of all.
The light-colored wood is worn
as it tells me its glorious tale.
