they say it's just blank paper

untouched, unfelt, empty.

i see the lifeless pages

and they're beautiful.

 

worlds to be enscribed,

lives to be detailed,

adventures and travels of a lifetime

with nothing but simple words

chicken-scratch scattered on oblivion

 

history wasn't set in stone, but in paper

scribes feverishly recorded

visionaries dreamed

authors penned their stories

they all changed the world with them

 

it all started with blank paper,

now it's up to us

how will we fill our empty notebooks?
