In the humming glow,
Of the street lights throw,
I stand in one place,
Feet as frozen as my glare.
Onto these hands,
Open palms turned downward,
Every scar a memory,
Lost and found,
In the back of my eyes
Each raised vein pushing,
Against the skin
To show unseen letters,
Words hidden from me.
Hope
Faith
Love
Here all along,
Pressed flat against the bone,
Only to be awakened by your touch.
And I stand in one place,
Feet frozen as my glare
As words scroll in infinite possibilities
Over the back of these hands….
