A Writer's Apple

I write on the blank pages
By light of a candle in a skull
Everything is black and white
Life is starting to look dull.

I stare at my messy words
My quill in my hand
I think about my life and work
A hollow soul in a hollow land.

I trace my fingers over the ink
I breathe deep and sigh and moan
Thinking of how my world is
My life and soul, empty, alone.

Then I see an apple
Shiny, bright and gleaming red
I stare at the colour in wonder
I no longer feel so dead.

The apple tumbles off the edge
I reach out to stop its fall
I gaze at this pretty thing
In my world of black and white
Maybe there's hope after all.
