Do you relish the sound of the spoken word?
Do you savour the way it engulfs the senses
in a whirlwind of joy and despair?
Anguish and patience...
Doubt and surety...
Land and sky...
Beauty and darkness...
Do you drink it up to a stupor,
and only hope you had the laden voice
to even emulate a fraction of the splendour...
The tiniest spark of the genius
that comes so easily for those
who are one with themselves?
It's the honesty and truth.
The seed that resides within
the covering of sweet or bitter flesh.
The meaning and purpose behind every emotion,
thought...
and spoken word
- that has me ensnared
always...
