Speak


Smile

          Breathe

                 now... Speak

Your words are heard.

By children,

               By parents,

                              By you,

                                        By God.

Your words are absorbed into history

And spit out like

b

       n

         k

           s

in the timeline of all the world.

Is it worth it? Those words you spoke?

The Earth has your name in its forever journal.

While handed out to very few, it is still distributed. 

You are d      s      r      b      t      d.

                 i       t       i      u      e

Your story, your life, your person.

Now. Smile. Your heart knows your face.

Other hearts also know your face. Now breathe.

Breathe deeply.

Your breath commands your mind.

Your mind knows your heart. 

Or does it?
