A spoken word
A written quote
A haunting allusion
A situation
Gravity filled
From your lips
To God's ears
They say
An inspiration
Anticipation
Filled
A paper
Waiting for life to be breathed into it
From your lips
To my pen
I say
Whether it be
The stalling transmission
Of my beat-up station wagon, or
The wailing of an ambulance
Reaching out
Aiming
Hoping
To reach a final destination
To reach helping ears and hands
Whether it be the howl of the wind
On a frightening night, or
Creeping tendrils of fog
Reaching up to the heavens
Visible through the barren boughs
On a November morning
Whether it’s:
The confusion of math felt,
The beauty of science witnessed,
The triumph of history taught zealously,
The cadence of Italian softly spoken,
The advice of a friend told in confidence,
The poetry of the greats,
The Killers
The Beatles
Serenaded with grace,
Or the best teacher,
Experience
Speaks truthfully
From your lips
To my pen.
