I am invisible ink
A first impression, clear and strong
Notice my curvy lines, my broad strokes
My message loud and clear
I exist
Slowly I fade
From the page and your mind
But I’m still here
Can you not feel my presence linger?
Is there no residue I’ve left behind
To offer a link to my reality?
I am invisible ink
Waiting for someone to wash over me
With the magic elixir
Necessary to awaken me, to bring me back to life
A glance, a smile, a nod
Sweet, sweet validation
I breathe yet again
