a fresh chance to be,
these words
are a beating heart,
they speak
when the mouth won't move,
they carry the hope
of a new day -
a new way -
they are experiment,
they are release -
the unspeakable
brought into the open -
what could be,
what is,
potential oozes
from the pen,
life is a poem
these words hold power,
they speak the soul,
they are their writer
laid bare
