The World Behind The Words


Back and forth

Back and forth

Scanning the lines

Finding the rhymes

Eyes flicker and flit

Watch the words split

Feeling the pain

Dancing in the rain

Alongside the unsung hero

The one that only few know

The one whose secrets never show

The one who lives on only in

The world behind the words
