Harbor

Unprison in my heart,
Unlock words I struggle giving;
Like the flutter of a lark,
Wing what's coming from within me;

Let my soul be set on fire,
Like madrone, or manzanita,
To promote the words I hide;
Ascribe my life to rightly speak up –

Good to read you again, JT. I used to think I would have no problmes in communicating feelings, but I come to see that deep feelings are hard to express. I see that you highlight this too in your poem.
