The Humble Pen

The Humble Pen (by Steven Cooke) What dreams we have, We share with the pen. What love we find, We share with the pen. What happiness we find, We share with the pen. When our soul bleeds, We find solace in the pen. When our hearts are broken, We find comfort in the pen. When all hope is lost, We find salvation in the pen. And when we leave this mortal coil. We will leave the pen, for our Children to pick up. For the pen, is a rainbow, For our dreams, hopes and fears. Where the heart and soul has a voice. Where love resides for your fellow man, And where beauty is found everywhere. It confirms our existence, our beliefs. And though our lives are brief. It is a noble quest, A gift of love to the world, And a seed of hope, So Let the children plant and nurture this hope And they too will see the rainbow Let this legacy nourish their lives With love and beauty, And let the humble pen go on, To find the next voice, The next chapter on this wonderful planet. We Call earth.

Ok Steven. This poem has a lot of good thoughts attached to it. If I were writing it I would have said "through the pen". I did find a few gems here. "The pen is a rainbow". That is true because we do use it to paint our thoughts and feelings across the pages of our lives. Another is "a seed of hope". I love that. I may just use it as a title for an upcoming poem. Thanks for inspiring me to think. Good job. Rockman

While I am alive, I write. While I write, I am alive. Writing as a need - this is the way I understand your poem (don`t know if I am right) and the way I feel about writing poems. Thank you for the comment. I am glad you liked my poem. I didn`t manage to send you a message. "Tatami" is a japanese word, it`s is someting like a mat
