A Letter

 

It started as a letter

And grew

To a million letters

flowing in emptiness

Their purpose- only to exist

 

A finger reaches

to scratch that itch

of curiousity

a letter is plucked

from the coloquey tree

 

then two

then three

 

soon leaves shake violently

by the wind of our lips

speaking their name

 

ink droplets fall

like apples drawn 

to gravity 

 

we play

letter romps

rolled like balls

built like blocks

smashed together

and spoken outloud

 

a liquid word

hardens

becomes solid

 

then two

then three

 

forming texture

soon

sentences gasp

like baby's first breath

and in the midst of our spray 

 

we moisten the world

with definition

 

and so we converse

about meanings

about feelings

about what we hope to achieve

about some higher purpose

what we’ve done today

what we’ll do tomorrow

about the colors of the world

 

our voices gyser

and we are heard

 

awaken our sleepy eyed prose

 

may the rumble of newborn ideas

muffle not each profound sound

But articulate in echoes 

a life well spent

in expression

 

off the depth of our canyoned aspiration

words are waiting for reverberation

tantalizing the inner drum

of our ear

and our hearts

daring us

 

to step from the edge of the page

 

transcending

cascading

 

the aurora of our capability

blooming like the sunrise

an endless vision

 

feet together

arms outstretched

head thrown back

 

I step to the eroding edge

of boundary 

a thought is whispered

to a gentle breeze

and I tip over with ease

trusting

 

the expanse of humanity-

anything can be

second nature.

 

words become habit that's formed

not given at birth

but learned

Is it too bold to believe

 

we can learn to love

like we learned to speak?

 

augmenting love like Boston Lager

we take a sip

in daily routine

 

lets matter-of-factly

love

like the words that

roll off our tongue

 

maybe one day we can look back

and say

 

it started as a letter

and grew..

Wow....This is awesome.
These are the words i want everyone to know one day.
These words is what we live by, no it is our life.
There is no other person in the world to define it better.
Keep on going with the good work.
A rose for you.

I step to the eroding edge
of my boundary in your gentle breeze
I tip over
trusting caught in the depths of epiphany:

anything can be
second nature.

This is fabulous, you words are such an eloquent look into just how friend ship can grow into the best kind of love... every stanza really builds onto the next as two people fall without even realizing it. Now that is the kind of love I hope to find one day.
