GO WHERE THE WORDS TAKE YOU

if you see them dangling –
grab them,
pull them to safety;

if you see them laying on the floor,
fragile, broken,
gently pick up the pieces;

if they slice your flesh,
let the wounds bleed,
to cleanse and purify;

if you find them
scattered in the palms of your hands,
let them play;

if they tip toe in your sleep,
for in your dreams,
let them be and just go where the words take you.
