lyrics

A boy stands alone in a corner clutching a book.
A corner because it makes him feel safe, a book so that he can escape.
He picks up a pen and in his hands it makes a sound like the latch of an iron gate, heavy and grating, well weathered against times of neglect, even shame, but as patient for it's keeper as the road for the wheel.
He lifts the book cover--a crane carrying a foundation or a stork the first babe of a generation--either way we all know how beginning can feel.
He leafs through pages.
Licks his fingers like wounds, peeling back paper like layers of dead skin and new. He was young then, still thinking that to feel is to heal.
He places the pen between margins, script flows from his head like a mane.
Planting his heart like a garden, giving his vision a name.
Every stroke is a river, every river bears life.
Yes, the hurt write in blood, but at least you know they won't lie.
His pen dances like myths echo over hills, through the mist.
Watch the glimmer in the corner become fire in our midst.

He was made to create.
His soul's a creation, you could call art innate.
To write is to build, sculpt, direct, and to paint.
To express in his image, give back the glory God gave.

about

Micah Kimber, Mustache Poetry Richmond, Virginia

My heart is to Love and connect with others by sharing art.
We're each valuable individuals, made in God's image, with art worth sharing.
If you create, share. If you aren't creating, scared of how it'll turn out or how others will respond, I understand. But art is self expression. It's for YOU first. If it's real, you'll want to be heard and someone will hear.
If anything, share it with me.
