words

Listen for the words

whispered under beaches

As the high tide rip curls

May 02

Look out for the words

falling from the branches

As the late spring breeze brushes

May 01

Look out for the words

hidden under the water

The moment before the wave crashes

I throw my words

I throw my words into silence

like pebbles in an invisible pond

no splash, no ripples, no waves on the shore 

I ask myself is anyone there 

only when you whispered

only when you whispered me the words
the words you whispered me
only when you whispered me
the strength in silence

his words tattooed

his words tattooed relentless onto your heart
your reply carved with chisels into mine

lost in words

lost in words
thoughts forgotten
the audience understands

holy words

holy words
the words with which you blessed me
holy words
the words with which you saved me
holy words
the words you called as the lifeboat found me

I cannot fill my heart with words

I cannot fill my heart with words

but still I try
