An Unmarked Path, Part 1


I try to write a poem but I don't have a rhythm I hear a rhythm is unneeded But I Need A Rhythm So I try and try without success, A million words run through my head But these ideas will never be used as an author needs an outlet found not in english, french, or spanish not in words, pics, or feelings. the use of hands runs properly throughout my in-most thoughts. but I was born to hear and I was raised to speak though my voice is rough and my hands move smooth speech is right and sign is wrong
