My Pencil

Chipped, etched, blunt,
Essential, important.
All qualities,
Of my pencil.
A portal,
A gateway,
Between reality and imagination.
Capable of putting ideas,
Somewhere else,
Other than the mind.
The pencil was powerful,
Stronger than the strongest man.
With power that was unique,
That mankind never had.
My talismanic object,
Although old and worn,
Filled with ideas and power,
Out of this world.
