Five Words

Five Words

       five words crawl up beside me
       intimate warm deep like an echo
       thunder along the canyon that is my mind

       this passage was not planned
       happens each time I stop believing
       it is movement that I adore
       motion to emotion
       light into delight
       hope into the power that
       pulls all meaning aside
       end grows to endure
       be                 begin
            forgotten
       for                 given
