A note is a word is a song

I am an artist

to what caliber

I do not know

yet I will not

let my pen sing

my hearts melodies

if a note is missing,

unsung,

disliked.

I will not say

half a word

for its diminished value.

I will sing

loud and clear

every note that I am

for you all to hear

failure be damned.

My theme, my blood

my bone

my eyes

my lips

and the words they utter;

for i am a dance,

not a tune you can sing

with half the words;

so see them flow

dance and glow

like stars on a lake

the moon in your eyes,

water over rocks.

these words live in me

so without them,

I'll never be.
