Persuade & Be Persuaded
Alas within me something stirs and proves
its worth. And once in form that I doth please,
from mind, I mouthe, spread word towards wind. it moves,
this living thought I cast upon the breeze.
My thought flow ends licking my pensive shores.
Though content changed and meaning torn, I await
your response - flaming words that will consume
my view, branding yours, blazing renewal.
This steam haze rising with our thought, a height
once beyond my reach. We share this learning
as the cloud grows. Wade cautiously into
my depths; unscathed I'll brave your embered soul.
My words now flashing waves of sparks, while yours
flicker to an ebb and flow. The thick mist
that once deemed blindness, mediated our
exchange - persuaded in our persuasion.
