A pencil on a canvas pressed against my tips A cadence, of lead and wood writing down my wish. The paper and the pencil birthed from the same seed From dirt to my desk, what a wonder indeed, At first they faced death broken from their roots But then they give life, when used by me or you We give this piece of paper Hope with our words our drawings and our stories shared with the world, so even tho the tree has fallen no more leaves to grow Out of its destruction came alive Something wonderful. Every book and every single article written in the daily blog came from deep within the dirt, they say we humans too are made of clay and mud So when we fall like trees in the silent woods, will we make a noise at all.
