Give Me A Pen
by Vivien Steels
Give me a pen
and some paper,
sheaves of wheat
and fruit from a vine.
Give me a cup
and a platter,
new-baked bread
and blazing butter.
Give me a kiss
and a lover,
a sweet-smelling bed
and pillows of lavender.
Give me a roof
and the greenest bower,
a cat at my feet
and a rabbit in clover.
Give me time
and a turning hour-glass,
silver through hair
and lines on my face.
Give me paint
and colours of jewels,
brushes of sable
in deepest of pools.
Give me a space
for striking gold,
pen in my hand
and the tale untold.
