My pencil flowed
Across the page.
Without asking
My permission.
It drew a girl.
Dancing to midnight.
On a starry beach.
Her wet twirling
Footsteps a pattern.
Step step towards
A sheltering cave.
Oh I knew so sadly well.
That place was haunted.
By nothing but
Death and pain.
My pencil stopped.
And all I could do.
Was stare in horror.
At this scene I had
Given life.
The Pen Is Mighty
