I can feel the energy
Of the people
All sitting before me.
All anxiously waiting
For me to speak.
I wish I could
See their faces
To know what they are
Thinking.
But I am blinded
By these damned lights.
When I clear my throat
I can slightly hear it
Echo
Into the darkness
That lays beyond the light.
My hands shake
As I raise the paper
So I can see the
Scribbled words
And my heart ounds
As I open my mouth
To read these words
I wrote
To those expectant ears.

But you love it so .... the audience hanging on your every word.

YOUR every sweat encrusted, blood stained, tear drowned word.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.
