When I am sad
When I am feeling bad
My way out is shelter
Find it, in words.
If they are not loud
They are scripted drive,
No, pretend.
Voices for the eyes
Read or not read it.
When I am sheltered
When I am feeling secured
My way in is heart
Share it, in words.
If they are not silent
They are prosaic verse
Like breaths.
Memoir’s for the nose
Smell or not smell it.
When I am in heart
When I am feeling opposed
My way out is tolerance
Spread it, in words.
If they are not sung
They are the very spokes
Make notes.
Ears for the mind
Hear it or not hear it.
