Like Breathing

Words come easy
Over the air
Dropping into open ears
Taking root in nurtient rich minds
Like corn growing tall in fertile fields
Letters scatter over walls and halls and stages
And pages
Waiting for eager eyes
To spy and process and put into another proper place
Fitting that last piece of the puzzle tight
Reading between the lines
Never forgetting a cue
Performing with perfection for an constantly changing audience
Language might hit barriers, but ideas,
Emotions
Climb right over fenses and borders
Flying
Onto the realm of imagination
Empty space 
Transforms, expands
Allowing expression all the room needed for the tango or the electric slide
Waltzing around
Or simply sitting
Daydreaming
