Too Many Words by Cheeya
Lying still.
Holding onto her quill
Tasting the words as they roll from her
Too many words
The parchment crinkles.
Her forehead mirrors it
Lost in thought
Too many words
I wonder what she writes
What enthrals her so
Thoughts of me?
Too many words
She chews on the quill
Listens to her muse
A steady, intricate hand
Too many words
Sometimes I envy her
Never losing awe
The scroll rolls on
Too many words
The same every night
The smile on her face
Light dancing in her eyes
Too many words
Someday I will ask
Will unroll the scrolls
Read stories of me
Too many words
