Literature Text

He writes on surfaces; free hand, no paper or pencil,
Using an indelible pen: non-erasable.
He must write till all the walls have been covered in his spindly letters,
Filling every space with expressions and endeavours.  
If only I could make his passage easier or rest that thought-filled mind.
A heart so full and driven to fill the world with more of his kind,
He will never stop until the end of life and time.

Paper, he says, confines him to a square the size of a sheet,
He'd rather press his ink to where the wood and words meet.
I'd write him a poem, but he'd write it so much better,
He'd have each phrase's meaning right down to the letter.

Such a burden on such a young soul,
His vision wavers and he's uncertain of his goal.
Silly child so young in years and old in heart,
You have decades yet to find out your part,
In life's play of time and redemption.
You'll be the making of literature; this I mention,
Because you seem in doubt of your place.
I know what I see, and I see it in your face.

If he drops his instrument of expression,
Let me put it back in his hand and possession.
When his resolutions weaken and waver,
He should know that I am certain, there is no one braver.
I cannot make him free,
But I know I can point him where he can be,
A place where words fail me.

He must compose and create something great.
It is, with a heavy load, his fate.
If only I could carry the volume of his faltering steps,
I'd follow far and deep into his world's depths.
He climbs and falls from the highest heights,
On and on he writes. Forging, he fights.
All I can give is The Book of wisdom's light.
Some people inspire me, and they don't even know it.

*Feels Pensive*

I guess I had young writers in mind, the ones still uncertain of their place and path.
