A Pencil


The man stared at the pencil and thought of all the work he had to do

The child stared at the pencil and knew that inside it was every story ever written and every story yet to be told, every picture seen and unseen.

The child picked up the pencil and felt the wonder of the unknown

The man looked at the pencil in his hand and smiled at the child within himself

His hand began to move across the paper

‘Once, long before the land as we know it was formed ……….’
