MeeAugraphie

Paisley wrote the following stanza in her poem, Transfixed, which she posted on ….why Paisley???:

my fingers,,
have become
the tongues
of my soul.

With her permission, I have used it, adapted slightly, to end the poem it inspired:

One Poet’s Lament

My feet
have run from
the remorse
of false steps

My ears
have become
the vessel
of life’s joys

My eyes
have become
the reflection
of soulful laments

My voice
has become
the sound track
of humanity’s fears

My heart
has become
the shoulders
of empathy

and thus,

My fingers
must become
the tongues
of our souls.

This poem was edited some – though, I rarely do.
