Sees and hears
Knows and reveres
Just as you are
Holds and cares
Gives and shares
Just as you are
Waits and seeks
Proud and meek
Just as you are
Shores and keeps
Laughs and weeps
Just as you are
Speaks and feels
Hides and reveals
Just as you are
Every time I weave the words
Another part of me
Unravels
Love if you can
Use words if necessary
‘Being in love is often disabling’
– Charlie Parr
‘Hunger only for a taste of justice,
Hunger only for a world of truth…’
– Tracey Chapman
A steady respect and affection
Was afforded until the day
A daring premise
Alighted hearts
In an irresistible way
A bright light surrounded
Onlookers observed
Listeners were silenced
Smile wide-eyed
A weighty burden lifted
The air electrified
All other noise trivial
The only story, now
