Who What When Where Why
Who causes my heart to sing
lets me breath
causes my soul to fly free
sees the parts not previously seen
a safe place
no judgements
the me I thought only I could see
What was I before you
but a place with empty dreams
tears wept in quiet rooms
no visitors crossed my door
I stood in darkness
yet my feet never touched the floor
When do we know we exist
is it our words spread on a pure white sheet
laughter made without our lips
hearts opened
leaps of faith
wandering through imaginary halls
flying along windswept fields
strings attached to other souls
somehow connected to all
no longer just a single mind
looking forward not left behind
Where this road leads
I may never know
The path goes too and froe
I gladly follow
there are people to meet
other words on other sheets
that's why I choose to read and read
my mind expands beyond the here
People who are far are the ones that are near
Words capture essence
Like the scent of fresh cut grass
evoking emotions from present and past
Why you may wonder
Unless you're like me
