My Tongue Is The Pen

Inspired by Psalm 45:1

My tongue is the pen

Of a ready writer 

Weaving tapestries 

Capturing images 

Sculpting memories 

Of that which should not be forgotten 

Names and faces 

Cherished friends 

Come alive 

They keep me company 

My nearest and dearest moments 

Etched upon the page 

My tongue is the pen

Of a ready writer 

Though my pen has always contained 

My truest voice 

Making sense of a senseless world 

Ordering chaos 

All is always good 

My tongue is the pen 

Which holds my very breath 

That will cease to be

The day I lay my pen down
