A beautifully spare free-verse poem: the expanding ink becomes a quietly powerful image of effort, consequence, and the stubborn permanence of what has already been. Its plain language and gentle line breaks give the thought room to ripple outward.

Writing wonderful, but no substitute for prayer. Love this! Destiny knows our words ahead of time.
