The Writer

 

He snatched his pen from his desk

Eager to express his emotions

And bring to life his words

He slowly swept his hand across his head

Deep in thought, yet inspired

 

Words spill out onto his paper

Painting pictures of life’s meaning

He sees the beauty from simplistic ways

His heart feels the precious moments

Moments being created around him

 

He gazes into the distance

Still fascinated by life

While all the world around him

Slips into a perpetual complexity

Feelings of stress, distress, and pain

 

And such happened all his life

He tried to reach out but was pushed away

The world was oblivious of the writer

Oblivious of his gifts, his passions

Until many years later when he passed away

 

And a young boy discovered his writings

Still lying covered in dust on the desk

His poetry was divulged and became like a flame

Striking all who read with a new sense of meaning

It comforted others and brought him fame

 

But what a shame, no one knew his name
