Parchment Desires

“Parchment which shows the mark of heart and soul,”
Blood and sweat stains between the lines so weak.
Sometimes knowing the traveling distance or goal,
Parchment which shows the mark of heart and soul,
While at others not knowing if it will take the toll,
Writers’ accomplishments’ may or not reach the peak.
Parchment which shows the mark of heart and soul,
Blood and sweat stains between the lines so weak.
