THOUGHTS ON PAPER


Written words seeping inside your heart
The paper held between fingers
As your eyes begin to weep
Why do these thoughts touch you

What mystery is held in simple letters
Put together with care
Yet they bring tears where
Smiles of joy should be

Perhaps if spoken
They would not hold so much truth
Are they seeing you
Reaching deep to your hidden soul

What intention met with desire
Passion expressed
Emotions ripping into the night sky
Speaking of confused order

The chaos of love
The nature of friendship
A child�s breath
Honor and loss
