Hardest to find when in need
Can bleed out of thee when
silence is the key

These joyous instruments are models of expression
hold you back or set you free
if you can handle their potential
they are dangerous
but oh how beautiful they can be

Of course its words that I mean

they say nothing in life is free

love
pain
greif
joy

the cost of harnessing these
or living through them is incalculable

but saying them
aloud
expressing emotions
through these simple letters
is powerful

yet their complexity can be captured
by these words

That's the richness that I need
