a blank page

This is a poem that I started in Mythology yesterday. (I get to take Greek mythology for my literature class - how cool is that? I LOVE mythology!) For the background, I'd just turned the page that was full of notes, pencil smudges, and doodles as I attempted to not only write my teacher's points, but also DRAW the story (yes, I'm an overachiever). So the new page seemed VERY white. So while I wrote my notes, I started this poem. Enjoy. :)

A blank page presents
Opportunity
A chance to choose
A new way of life
A new story
A new poem
Blankness is not feared
But it is wanted
It is desired
It is lovely
To the eyes of me
And other writers

For in that blank page
Where some see a void

We see the chance
To breathe light into dusk
