Quill's Tip

Darkness scatters,

broken into shards

by drops of ink

that fall deep into

the crevices dispelling

shadows with a word.

One more day

signified not by sun,

but by expressions

caught between

the lines of a page

in a thick journal.

A lifetime  is caught

on the sharp tip

of a quill poised,

and ready to create

imagery and emotion.
