Beyond Your Conscience

As this pen merges with the 
tips of my fingers 
You anticipate the depths of my 
speech
Urging, their shallow minds 
lingered,
To speak of such, beyond the 
reach

Rather to see air,  than the 
beauty 
Of a gale cast upon the 
summer
Who would be willing to subdue
What others could not utter

Are you I ? To carry its value?
The words written in a state 
Where only I contain power 

You are of you.
As I am of I. 

So it remains, the doubt of the 
mind...


                                    -J.W
