Need ink
Written: by Tom Wright

Thoughts need ink to have their birth on paper,
And entirely, I’ve depended, upon God for both.
Some thoughts have had the lifespan of a vapor,
Leaving me scant time for meaningful growth.
Now and then, I feel, my ink well nears depletion,
Because thoughts don’t flow, with ease, to pen.
I’m drawn to question, is my work near completion
Or will God, merely refill my inkhorn again.

Inkhorn means ostentatiously learned and pedantic
Ostentatiously Learned Inkhorn
What I had learned after being born,
Was that I would become an inkhorn;
Knowledge showing,
And brain growing;
All over my walls diplomas did adorn.
