next to words unwritten

the rain pounds the ground
and his hand almost won’t grip the pen
sliding right out of hand
onto the page next to words
he hasn’t written yet
the thunder crashes overhead
rumbles the walls and floor below
what would it be like
if he didn’t write it all down
what would he do with all his time
spent thinking and reading
distracted by all the noise
the rain pours down in buckets
but it wouldn’t matter if he didn’t
write it all down for some to see
lucky or unlucky who is to know this
who has these answers…
