As I was picking up my pen to write, there was a knock upon my door,
I slowly opened the wooden frame and saw a frog upon the floor.
Dusk was now upon the sky, as my little green guest decided to come in.
‘My name is Ribbit” my visitor said as he hopped upon the wooden table.
Next to him sat ready a fountain pen - ready, willing and able.
I slowly sat down on my pine-made chair, wondering why Ribbit came to visit.
An eloquent amphibious creature as he spoke with educated tone,
“Go over to your window” he said, “and tell me what you see”.
I walked over to the curtains and drew back the sash with childlike glee.
The frog replied “The pen upon the table has the ability to heal and words to tell.
The parchment you are using can bring to life a story from a wishing well.
Dreams are but a whisper in your ear, a journey from the start.
Remember, the power of the word brings an adventure from the heart.
The frog smiled as he ate a crumpet and sipped upon his tea,
We talked about the Faith of dreamers, miracles and laughter in clouds above,
As my pen moved upon the parchment accompanied by a winding breeze,
Dawn came up dancing with the morning sunshine for me to see.
I made a little bed for Ribbit out of a painted little box,
Forever to live with me as the bells of the village set another day’s clock.
Poems and written word are made of tales to be told from the heart,
Pen and parchment on a wooden table, dreams as we close our eyes,
May we always reach for the possibilities within the morning sky.
