The blank page beckons like a holy book
Holding secrets in its sacred heart.
If writing on it sometimes seems like prayer,
Remember that the grace that you find there
Takes all the fierce devotion of your art
Yearning for what mundane life forsook. Then take it! Fill the page with what you took!
Well might you look on it and find it fair!
Or, if not, work on till Red Seas part!
