The pen and the inkwell

I have not written a poem in ages

Today, I sling the writing case on my shoulder, 

A burden to bear for

The One who called me.

He gave me a new pen, 

A weapon between my fingers,

A fresh pot of ink I received

To mark the city

To season hearts

To write words full of grace.

As He commands, so will I do

For He’s the pen and the inkwell

It’s in Him I dip and write upon the land

Waiting to soak in His words.

Enobong O’wunmi. February 2026.
