WORD-WEAVER
Respect your craft, word-weaver,
fashion your songs with care:
since this may be the only way
to tell your mind
or let your lost and helpless tenderness
find its way.
So set your words' little feet
upon the page
so they may scamper, prance or pirouette
or then perform
some slow and solemn ceremonial
across the page.
Your word's embrace may not be
so direct, so real …… and yet
in truth may serve
a different safer need.
So polish your skills, weaver of words,
since the gifts you bring
may yet surpass the beauty of the rose
and lack the sting.
Author notes
Option 1 ... maybe I'm not invited so too often now, but I can still dream and my words are a safe way to tell my dreaming.
