The Verse Now Safe
Endowed with words,
I run to the page
Hoping my pen
can be found
Keeping them alive, I’ve
yet to inscribe
Their voices seep and drip
to the ground
Left waiting inside
my hand starts to write
As the ink begins to flow
lines astound
My day now complete,
this night I shall sleep
The gifted verse safe
—written down
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)
