The Pen Hesitates
My pen hesitates to speak its mind.
Trepidation? Perhaps! Perhaps something more...sublime!
The words needed to convey collective thought,
Are now lost in a maze...in a labyrinth of time.
Ink fails to write the plight of the pen.
Punishment? Perhaps! Perhaps something more...amusing?
Perhaps some recurring penance demanding payment?
Perhaps both? My pen finds it all...most confusing!
What bright light must now shine thru yon window?
What new wonders must fill these empty skies?
What shadow lifted, from pen...so gifted!
What ink must now flow thru it?...from my eyes!
