nothing to hold but the pen

determined again
to take another step
toward something
more than just a guy
that writes a lot
determined to finish
another volume of the near
daily ramble how many
more days will this book last
worn now from nearly six months
of that near daily ramble
determined again to make it up
from all the time when I felt down
and alone probably I was both
sort of makes sense enough
to realize I want it gone
move to tomorrow only for a few more hours
no reason to dwell on solitude
just where I am at nothing can
stop or hold me back when
I have nothing to hold but the pen
and the book until I fill it up
and pick up another...
