Seeking a Poet

The words came to visit.

Gently whispering.

I was already occupied.

 

The words came to visit.

I brushed them away.

Afraid of what I might hear.

 

The words came to visit.

I paused, just brave enough

for a few to be heard.

 

“Make space for us,” they said.

 

They arrived unattached

not expecting anything in return

only wanting to be heard.
