"I AM THE PEN"

I am the ink

On this paper

My thoughts flow out

In linear chunks of hoped for meaning  

I am the words

On this page

For they are

What I want to say to you.

I am the word "I"

I have left it

Here for you

As a snapshot of my soul.

I am the pen

As I focus my meaning

At this point in my life

Creating my own meaning for NOW.

I am my own meaning

Sharing it with all who read

After I have written

Read on and find me.

I am the scribble that wiggles

Round and round

In my head down my arm, hand, pen

To the page and now into your head.

I am the thoughts you have,

The eyes that saw,

The feelings that were felt,

The responses that came into your mind.

I am the pen

And without me, and you

This paper can not, shall not, will not ever LIVE!

Read on!
