“Words that Swim”

standing in my heart
pen in hand
every day a sheet of paper
without end

waiting
wanting
to let everything out

at one time

what comes out
flows from my heart
what’s left inside
swims with the motion of my breathing

waiting
wanting
to let everything out

at one time

needing a yes
permission to write
passing it on
to all waiting

to let everything out
without limit of time
