The word

Poetry and written word

A chance to dress our speech in new clothes.

An occasion to celebrate and to see

Sound as tangible relief.

A dance of wild words tamed by the tongue,

A well-behaved emotion, set free from religious politeness,

Sets fire to the breath and brands the air, a 

Song stealing death from bodies, holding souls by the 

Chests and graces our eyes with

A glimpse of eternity.

A gift to the undeserving, smiling through hurting, 

The word, the

Agonising hope.
