Only Words

From an unpublished poet's private collection.

Write to me.

Write to me,

Write me a story,

Of happy endings

Write me a story

Of humble truths

And brave choices

Write me a poem

Of freedom

Write me a poem

Of joy unrivall'd

And harmonious echoes

Write me words

In any form

Write me words

Many many words

To replace the voice

We silenced.
