Words to Paper

This is where I am supposed to write about anything

About something that says nothing

I feel the pen in my hand

It just taps the desk

This is where the pen tip should be touching paper

The ink should be gliding across the page

Letters should be forming words

From my thought’s ideas should be written

Thoughts building the ideas 

That say something about nothing

This is where poetry forms

When those nothing thoughts become something

When the pen stops tapping

When the letters form words

When the words start to say something

Rather than nothing

Thoughts on paper

Written
