Waited a whole day,
for evening to come,
the only moment,
accepted by my candle
to open the eyes
of writing.

I am preparing
the position,
legs crossed,
sited at the table,
ready for work.

No time to spare,
carefully with the ink,
precious as gold,
to me.

First touch of paper,
was scratchy
for my fountain pen

pressed to much,
my bad

for a single letter

Coming to write is the hardest part for me. I've resorted to drafting on my phone as the blank white page is too scary.

 

Small typo to/too in the fourth last line and was the 'no time to spear' deliberate?

'Open the eyes of writing' is a gorgeous line on so many levels.

tried also drafting on the phone, not working for me either. The best way remain a good calligraphical tool, enjoy doing that when I have time for it.

Yeah, it's a small typo there, thanks!

Thanks for reading LC,

Written as deliberately as the letter pressed from your fountain pen.

Lovely sense of ceremony and savouring the moment.

Because handwriting it's going on the path of extinction, yes, for me it's like a ceremony and I enjoy it so much.

Thanks Philip!
