Poet’s Pen
Consider words etched on the skin
put there by the poet’s pen
seen by those with the sight
to perceive the dark from the light
within those shadows the tale unwinds
a single line at a time
applied to flesh in full resolve
to illustrate how life evolves
by increments the muse explains
what came before was the paint
indelible as as the wind
still covering every inch
these notes of ashen hues
still relevant to those who view
the aftermath of poet’s pen
etched forever on the skin.
