There you lie.
encapsulating words.
trapping  ideas.
imprisoning promise,
Why?
Do you deem it right?
appropriate?
You hold them tightly.
Snared within your pages, is life.
Its expressions.
Its dreams.
Just waiting.
Discovery is elusive.
Inclusive in the lines you harbor.
daring a writer, a poet.
Daring them to enter.
To dream.
to deliver the power.
the power you enslave.
Webster, Merriam knew.
It was easy as A-B-C.
To set you Free.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
