Words

We are free to write

Life won’t offer a fight

When the mind’s the slate

Where words carry weight

Words are distractions

It is the mind that sanctions

Afraid we may leave

There will be none to deceive

The mind’s full of words

Holding silence to its terms

We fail to read and understand

What the mind has planned

Dropping words isn’t easy

Silence becomes hazy

Life offers a bright light

It won’t disturb freedom to write
