saturday

getting out of bed is quite the feat

when the days are long

and the nights are bleak

I don’t know what I feel like today

all I know is

I don’t feel like doing much at all, I’m afraid.

so I’ll stay here tucked under these warm sheets

and wait for time to pass

as my energy depletes

and give it a go tomorrow, another day

let’s try again then –

we’ll see what I say.

fountain pen

one thing I can tell you is that I love the texture of a good pen

the feeling of the scrape, or glide, against the grainy paper

the sound of scribbles, etches, curves and swirls

the simple joy of writing filling me with desire to fill the page

doodling for the sake of seeing how the ink flows

journaling for the sense of letting it out

pouring myself out deliciously via pen
