A Pen�s Tale

A Pen’s Tale

by Suzanne C. Suber

 

 

My pen desires to tell you a tale.

It feels privileged, for it is the pen of a writer.

When the words bubble forth from its master they do not escape through the lips. 

No, rather they are copiously directed through another instrument. 

Words released from the mouth are uttered and then, for the most part, lost.

Those guided through the pen have the capacity of becoming everlasting.
