Paper

Here it is so clear and white
Patiently waiting for any bright
Scintillating words to tumble out
(Grubby words would do
If they’d only come in a slew)
And take root and sprout
With inky tendrils on the paper
Instead, they vanish like vapor

 

Written for dVerse.

  5. Ah the potential -- and the temporality -- of a blank sheet of paper. Too soon crumpled and thrown in the wastebasket...
