I have been a dry well of thoughts and words lately, despite that fact that I've had to go through a lot of changes. This is what has been coming out so far

__________________________________________

the children of my words
follow on the heels of worn shoes
forever underfoot
yet never trampled

I will keep them at my bedside
with my bread and water of paper
for I am no preacher
praise is not mine
nor sacred

let me carry them
let them rise on my tounge
and stay warm with woven words
a blanket of moments

the children of my words
are chains to my heels
their skin and bones
mine

let me carry them

Oh my ... I like this Exhale. No dry well here! You've "carried your words" beautifully through this piece. Very much enjoyed.

Best wishes,
