TESTING THE WATERS:

TESTING THE WATERS

I test the waters
carefully
with words chosen
singularly
my thoughts fall
as they come
silent to most
heard by some
or none
i never did hide
behind metaphor or rhyme.
no time
to add mystery
to a world mysterious.
Let the heart speak
its stillness
and the soul will listen
