Words

Words, I knew

had power

and then, I learned

they had beauty too,

formed the ground

for mystery.

I was

in love

not knowing then what comes to me now-

I’d found a faithful friend,

one that would

sit with me in pain,

dance across the page with joy.

In my heart we

ran away together.

Go outside to listen to the thunder.
