My Quill Rises

my quill rises

When Nature subsumes its veil,
& withdraws its gale,
My quill rises-
& I rise with it!

When the doors are shut,
& the folds are drawn,
My quill rises incessantly-
& I rise with it!

When the darkness devours the blue sky,
& all men retire to their chambers,
Then and there,
my quill rises fearlessly
& I rise with it!

When the city comes to a halt,
& noise gets lost in the ocean of silence,
My quill rises to quibble
& squabble-
& I rise with it!

I rise with it.
I rise with it.

And within it
I sleep & dream!
And love & live!
And write & die!

For within it
I rise & submerge.

Nobody Knows- It!
Nobody knows- Me!

Nobody knows
Except You and Me!
