Words On Paper

Tom Dylan


Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in replying or if I'm away for short periods. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon says, life is what happens while you're busy making other plans.

We are all words on paper

like characters in a paperback book,

scenes, dialogue and plot-twists

on the pages yet-unread.

The words on paper

telling our own story,

a wedding invite,

driving license, birthday card,

newspaper obituary, the love letter,

the exam results, speeding fine,

the divorce papers, the job offer,

the secret diary, last will and testament,

the birth certificate.

Just words on paper.
