Ode to Writing
Pleasure of writing

There’s so much beauty
In the melody of pencil striking paper —
Stylus stroking tablet.
And even if the ancient practice has faded
Into the clipping clap of resounding keys
Echoing into the emptiness of a studio apartment,
I still remember the song told by
The rustic scratch of graphite on bark
Serried into a more pleasing aesthetic.
Both creator and muse,
I owe it all to the voice of my hands,
As it suspends both time and space
In this sacred embrace
Of soul and paper.
