INKPOT

In memory of P.K.Page

I sat at the feet of the master
She kept saying, keep it filled
Your pen – just keep it filled
The words will come
If you just keep your pen
At the ready

She was right, you know
I wish I had thought to tell her
She died last year before
I got around to it
But I always keep my pen
Filled, and paper handy
And the words, they come
Just the way she said they would

  1. We all have someone that in some way inspires us to keep that inkpot full. Unfortunately we often forget to tell them thank you before it is too late. Yet, is it too late? I think not.
