My Words

will my words touch readers with emotion and will they love the moments and whispers and the tears falling from each line will they fathom the depth of the sorrow drifting in the corridors of my mind will they grasp the grief I press to my heart and let pour in bleeding ink and can they imagine my written words soaring on wings like caged birds set free ________________ May 9, 2021 Poetry/Verse/my words Copyright Protected, ID 05-1353-557-09 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, All Yours (May 11) sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 05/10/2021 First Place

Indeed, Constance, I can imagine most of your "written words soaring on wings" whenever you write. I loved this one, especially.

_Constance, I can imagine, yes, words as caged birds seeking new freedom. So sad your poem, 'my words'. Is it enough to say don't be? Happy Mother's Day Constance. -Richard

Richard, thank you for the comment, appreciate. I was going to go to the cemetery to visit my baby and mother but I just could not bring myself to do it, I have to muster up the strength for that, peace _Constance
