Praise For the Pen

It was done
I had once again put pen to paper.
A line had come!

An un bid swell
Like a sea current in a well.
Built, poured into and drawn from
It had come, it had come.

Not the best but a relief
Now i could ink out a life, a grief,
Make a friend 
Then bring them to an end.

With a pen to pick and choose
Win over your loss, not give a toss
Hold them close again
With just your pen.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
