Visble


I speak, you hear

Words arrive and flee

Never lingering to be seen

In your mind you may see them

though are they the same?

are they exact?

are they mixed with your thoughts?

do they harm or comfort?

Gone-seeking refuge in an unknown place

on paper - they stay

never fleeing so they are seen

they are exact, not mixed

they may still either harm or comfort,

Yet, they remain - perminent 

to speak may disolve

to Write is visible.
