Listen to poem:

Each Passing Word

Each Passing Word
David J Walker

My secret is safe from me
Camouflaged beneath the skin

 (not even the eternal flame of the sun
                         allowed in)

Light beyond the fading clouds
Sounding their warnings  

Not allowed ....    
                      not aloud

So I read to myself in silence
	And instantly forget 
Each passing word
