Hesitation.

A breath.
I hold within what others freely speak.
For from my mouth
comes meaning.
That’s anything but weak.

Obligation.

A test.
I wish a definition for my responsibility
I’m not quite sure
what I’m meant to do.
Or of my agility.

Fascination

A quest.
I go exploring in the darkest night.
I’ll find my way

and make my path
Discovering what’s right.

Publication

A stress.
Reciting what you know to prove who you are.
Though all things
can’t be proven
Personne ne peut voir

Restoration.

I suggest.
Becoming what you were born to be.
And when lost

learn again
To think, feel and see.

Explanation

The rest.
What we all wish and require.
I hold my truth

and still learn yours.
Fulfilling my desire.
