SETTING FIRE TO THE FLAMES

In the candle flame
she sees everything

that cannot be...

...yet needs to be

- spoken.

Music touches her mind
kindly asking if it can help?

The blank page
is amazed

at what it finds
written upon itself.

The music ceases.

The candle is blown out.

Words exist
that long for a mouth

...to speak them.

In the sleeping lady's mind

the candle still

burns

dreaming its own reality.
