words

i am full of them 

they come pouring out 

like droplets of rain 

slow and steady

and then all at once 

a downpour 

the torrent 

the rolling storm 


and then suddenly 

a kindness holds my hand 

someone that did not 

see me 

then decide to turn away 


and i am silenced 

and the clouds are clearing 

and even when they start 

to rage 

my friend remains 

and i am

acutely aware 

of being quite 

speechless in my

blessed state 


it helps

it sustains 


it is not easy to believe 

or know what will stay 

but it makes me 

smile, anyway
