my Pad and Pen

my Pad and Pen

i have before me paper and pen
in expectation of a write
perhaps this is a metaphor
for “darkness yields to light”

i look within the recesses
of what i believe is Soul
in stillness i listen to whispers
and record what i am told

we may call them revelations
or insights we allow and touch
at times i see my dependence
my pen and pad my crutch

but just the same i am thankful
for all that i go through
for when i employ pad to pen
alive i am anew

with . . .

my Pad and Pen
