The words of their story

Listen deeper for the words
the words they have chosen
how they describe their life
their path, their journey
Do the adjectives, the nouns,
the verbs speak of sorrow
of anger, of pain, abandon
do they hope for tomorrow

The words of their story
what is truly important
the depth of the breach
the break in the circle
New before me
their lives ripped open
what words do they use
to tell their life’s story
