Can a phrase rule
  over a paragraph

Can the right word
  stand alone

Can a thought be held
  within one breath

Can the truth in short
  be known

Can you single out
  the future

Can you paraphrase
  the past

Can you release the hope
  inside a wish

Can you make this moment
  last

Can you keep the magic,
  the spell unbound

Can Apollo set you
  free

Can you say it while
  defying time

Can you voice your souls
  release
