If you only had an inkling
of the pattern in my mind,
I would not stutter quite so badly.
I struggle for my pride.

Fear, like rage, does overwhelm me.
Pittingly, you try to hear.
I wish my heart could speak; yet sadly,
she always tries to hide.

I shutter at the thought
that I show only with my eyes.
It seems as though you'd read them gladly,
But, you might be surprised.

The heart will shout without fear when the time is right.

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

I wish poetry ran as deep in my family as it does in yours. My sisters are bright and definitely artistic -- one even wrote a book -- but no poets. Two gifted poets in one family is a beautiful thing.
