The Sound From Within

June 18, 2016
The Sound From Within...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pushes me
 
Not over the bridge 
 
Or towards the running waters
 
But to the charcoal imprinted words
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The words 
 
Are stained with every tear
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The story 
 
My voice is unwilling to tell
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The letters 
 
Do not intertwine 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The phrases 
 
Do not mingle or overwhelm
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The words 
 
Are cut throat 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The story
 
Is purely true
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Letters, words, and stories 
 
Are not my art 
 
Or a passing of time
 
It is the only voice I have left.
