Labour To the Mind

Pen to Paper is Labour to the Mind Ink scrambled across pages in a form of letters results in knowledge acquisition Like a dome filled with bodies the mind undergoes infestation To think a tick to my scribbles can get me a certificate of qualification My heart spoke, my mind interpreted I put pen to paper and the whole page was filled with ink My heart said “She’s beautiful,” My mind said “Beauty defines her” My heart said “I miss her,” My mind said “I am going breathless without her” Pen to Paper is Labour to the Mind What can’t be verbalised, could be voiced in a form of letters That’s when the mind deciphers what the heart utters Letters do kill but they have the ability to empower life Voice has power to crack any item made of emotions There’s volume in the voice and power in utterance When Emotion collides with feeling The heart intervenes in utterance and the mind deciphers Even with volume in the voice with power in utterance Pen to paper overpowers volume and the power in utterance Hence “The Pen is mightier than the sword” Pen to Paper is Labour to the Mind
