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.
