Master's Feathered Quill

I am just a white feathered quill, my master’s only instrument. I write every one of his thoughts until death lies still. We've been together through every sunrise and rain of dreams. In his hand I write prose and poetry in a metaphoric style, Until he tires and rests lays me down for a while. Each moment is a holy pact as verses become new glitters of life---that we remain bound together until I run out of black ink. For he's the main artist and I… time’s quill. Both of us have lines to sew. We are a D U E T //iii\\
