EQUILIBRIUM

The scarlet thousand threads interwoven together Flourished life on lifeless pieces of paper Becoming the heartbeat of the pen I hold The instrument through which I am unhinged, bold! My blood now courses through its only narrow appendage As does its lifeless blue essence, within my body and spirit as a bandage Keeping together a heart nigh explosion Absorbing the rivulets that escape from its hold, demanding no wage And so the living and the lifeless sustain each other As I hold on to the pen for dear life, and meaning that I could find in no other.
