CRUMPLED AND DISCARDED THE PAPER BEGAN TO UNFOLD
INK BLACKENED WITH FEAR AND SORROW
A LIFETIME IN THE STROKE OF A PEN
A PRISONER OF THE STORIES TOLD
FAMILIAR WORDS SUSPENDED IN TIME
THEIR DISTANT ECHO STILL RINGING CLEAR
NEW MEANINGS BEGIN TO EMERGE
EACH TEAR EXPOSING THE LIGHT BENEATH
SOMEHOW THE PATH NOW SEEMS CLEAR
NO LONGER A PRISONER OF THE STORIES TOLD
