Keep on Writing, Arielle

Published: 22 May 2019

“Keep on writing, Arielle“,
is what they tell me.
But I don't need to be told
as my fingers are pencils
always ready to make their
mark on clean pulp.

“Keep on writing, Arielle“,
is how they encourage me.
But I am the Lion of God
as the Internet teaches
and while I am always afraid
of and for you, I will not falter.

“Keep on writing, Arielle“,
is what I do not tell myself
yet I am compelled to do so;
because I know that my silence
is golden for the Sun that
needs to feel no discomfort
as she shines for other things.

Tomorrow, I will not be here.
And I hope you will be happy.
