EXPRESSION
Just the word
Moving around in my days
In and out
Seeking definition
A thought that
It was part of
A few days ago
Gone now but it lingers
Was it part of something
More important
That needed thought
A context within
Let’s see
Not what value it has
The effect it has if missing
A person trapped
Within themselves
Punching out at demons
A need to reach out
In some way
The act leaving value behind
Even if it reaches
Only a pet or flower
Wild bird with seed
An invisible bond to being
A part of
A reminder needed deep
In our being
The social animal
Wired for contact
So I write
And publish to the void
It leaves behind
Something of value
I photograph and share
Something of value
Even a wave
Out the window
Or smile
