My Pal
When the Sun goes down
When the dust settles
When the chips are down
When the tides fade
when huge pings drizzle
When the shadow descends
And voices inaudible; faint
When feeling bows to 'gravity'.
When promises are but vain rhetoric
And the smiling face oozes deceit,
Down in the dark,
At the bay of the turmoil of sanity
Shinning and forgiving,
Beaming and beckoning,
Always patient, always available;
My Pen, my pal, my ink!
