Pen of the Heart

I've missed you

Pen and paper

I miss that hidden place

Where I can be whatever

My chance to escape

Thoughts I didn't know I had

Appear now on my page

I've longed to write

To capture them

Without, I feel misplaced

No wonder now I'm writing

It's taken far too long

I've found a scrap of paper

For my heart to write its song
