When The Pen Runs Out Of Ink

there will come a time
when the pen runs out of ink
the ideas will not flow
and the canvas will remain blank

what was once a river
will be less than a drip from a faucet
where dreams will go to die
and songs will barely be whispered

until then there is only one choice
to run as fast as you can
for as long as you can
and write as much as you can

when that pen runs out of ink
when there are no ideas left
no songs left to sing
prick your finger and write in blood until you die
