Fallen Tree

NPR

Good news is like a good symphony

Close your eyes and listen for hours

The ups and downs of various voices

Monotone or melodic they chime away

Knowledge falling from a fountain

A source unseen and wearily trusted

But it comes so easily from the teeth

That tumble and fall and catch again

A dancer re-footing from a stumble

And off they run from point to point

To one I give a hum and nod

A chorus of opinions from the radio

And on and on the chatter runs

Voice

A mastered voice is not unlike

A well tuned, polished instrument

That can captivate the mind

As well as the world

And yet,

My mouth falls open

And out tumbles a nasally

Screech that I feel I should

Apologize for, should I?

Words trip and stutter their way

Through tense teeth

Out into the world

To be heard, judged

And stranded forever

In the cold air

Keeping you waiting as I gag

On my own thought

Steam billows from hot ears

As I regain my verbal footing

And tentatively try again,

Cheeks burning alive

My trepid tongue

My own worst enemy.

Untitled (Love Yourself)

I hear sweet lullabies in your laugh

even when you find it too rough, too loud.

I still believe your eyes shine brighter than the sun

even when you're on the verge of breaking down.

I still know that flowers grow from your skin

and that life exists from within

even when you pick them out like they're a sin.

I still see summer in your smile

and hear spring in your sigh

even when you think it's dead season in your life.

I still love you for you

even when you don't love yourself too.
