Every stroke of My Pen

"Every stroke of my brush
is the overflow
of my inmost heart "(--Sengai, Seventeenth-Century Zen Master)
I cut with my pen
the words of my heart
into the written page
The blank page receives me
and accepts me
unconditionally
I am free to
play the music of my heart
as each note falls onto the
blank page peacefully, gracefully
I paint with words
what I cannot paint with color
Even the air seems so still,
as if my mouth is a musical instrument,
waiting for the music of my words
to pour forth through the air
onto the hearts of people,
"turning the voice of the wind
into a song made sweeter
by my own loving" (Kahlil Gibran)
