The Scribe’s Tool
a note to a friend
an unanswered letter
the unsayable secret
sketches in the holy book
adorned tengwar
With the scribe’s tool
With the scribe’s tool
I pick up my pen
and the page enchants me
continue! continue!
thoughts become ink
ink becomes words
but not only words
spirit, enchantment, and beauty flows
Out of the scribe’s tool
Out of the scribe’s tool
