Fountain Pen
your fingers
on your fountain pen
connect you
to fantasies
to dreams
a flying carpet
to universes unknown
you see the world
differently
you see both sides
of the moon
at the same time
as you dip
into the ink well
the sun begins to rise
from the west
comes back
to set in the west
for eons it comes home
different setting
each time
you can see
through the thick fog
mirages
begin to form beautiful
colourful images
as well the
water fountains
in the parks
in the plazas
in your garden nook
in your hearth
In your heart
you see rainbows
uncurl
at sunrises
auroras
now a palette
of pulsating
spectrum hues
the fountain pen
in your hand
a joy to behold
a gift from the heart
a flying carpet
to universes unknown
