Seeing Words


Words

Brings life to ideas

newborns who await to be seen by the world.

People destroy words that come from precious gems.

Never to be spoken

Never to be written

Never to be thought of 

ever again.

People hide words in the deep

lonely darkness of themselves

Afraid of not being understood and 

unaware that others hide the same words.

Eventually words find their way into the light

embraced by all who sought to destroy and hide them

Loved by those who dare to share.
