So many words I didn’t hear said
Wander through my mind
Like a book I just put down
And cannot stop from reading
They penetrate my thoughts
And cover me in flames
I can feel within my pulse
Like a lightning streak repeating
Lingering, consuming, aching
In the now
Enticing, exciting, enraptured
Down my brow
Give me words that come to play
And dance outside a mystery
I can feel inside a breath
But shake to fear no sound
Rising from a state of shock
They stay behind the eyes
And run to face the heart
When all power stuns abound
Surrendering, relenting, obeying
To the yes
Commanding, expanding, demanding
In my chest
Now I wait in dreams of fate
Where words flow into currents
That gather in a stream
No drought can ever dry
In silence I have chosen
Where to concede the letter
In thoughts that drift ashore
Where the hunger never dies
Resting, testing, confessing
From within
Revolving, involving, dissolving
To my end
