Wisdom of the Pen

A pen, paper, and optimism 
A dream to inspire 
Weapons of your mind 
A soul on fire 
Emotions exploding 
Heart pumping faster 
Fighting for control 
Preparing for a new chapter 
Then the pen meets the paper 
A picture is constructed 
When each piece came together 
He found out why the volcano erupted 
While inspiring others to become complete 
He had not noticed the earthquake under his feet 
His mind had so much room for others on his shelf 
The man had no more room left for himself
