If your eyes can hear the words
If you ride phrases to another place
If your heart exhausts itself in submersion
The poem breathes success.
If the words claw at your eyes
If phrases keep you at a distance
If emotion is imbedded between each mark
The poem drowns.
Ring out the tears
and immediate reactions,
Hang out their sources to dry.
Inspiration reflects truer
after a strong wind of patience.
