Yearning

As he kneels, he begs
the outstretched hand yearning 
to be grasped, saved
from himself.

A shadow of shame 
takes his reigns.
A foot and another
a step and the next

one holding firm and nothing 
at all.

A Voiceless Flower


The twist of a tongue 
The hiss of a word
The end of a sentence 
The start of a chirp

Saying nothing means everything 
Saying everything means nothing
A language consists of words 
Words give the voiceless a voice
To speak their mind and not hold their tongue
And let their inner beauty show

Speaking is an art only a few understand
To hold the attention of a room 
To sway an audience 
To charm a lover

There are many ways to convey a thought
There are many languages one can speak
Each with their own weight and significance
All are unique 
An endless cycle from beginning to end  
That is what a voice brings

A thought sprouts
You water it with curiosity and doubt
An idea nourishes it
And it blooms when you speak it
It withers through rejection
And dies due to shame
That is what a voice brings 
That is what language contains

A field of withered flowers
That once held beauty
A field of ideas that were once valid
A field of voices becoming voiceless
The speakers finally becoming speechless
