Pages

My book is but an
empty sheaf of pages
unwritten upon
by any hand but my own

Not one jot - not one slip 
of the eternal pen
blemishes those glaring	spaces

Must my worth be counted
in the coin of whatever realm
others choose for me

I think not
Let me write my own
words upon my pages

My pen will spell out
the essence blind eyes
do not see
