So Sweetly

hearing the word
serenaded
	so sweetly

curious 
	what would become

	remember
recognize and wonder
why it is they do not me

a quiet plea
no one turns to engage
	subdue babbling dreams

murmur insecure self-esteem
floating suspicious doubt

ebbs and flows
	unwholly bones fragmented
	never fully assembling

peace
	whole
