Tom Wright Poet Lyric

Need Ink

Need ink
Written: by Tom Wright
7/10/2019

Thoughts need ink to have their birth on paper, 
And entirely, I’ve depended, upon God for both.
Some thoughts have had the lifespan of a vapor,
Leaving me scant time for meaningful growth.

Now and then, I feel, my ink well nears depletion,
Because thoughts don’t flow, with ease, to pen.
I’m drawn to question, is my work near completion
Or will God, merely refill my inkhorn again.
