Diet of emotion today. Thanks for reading.

"Are You Really Listening?"

Crop of words that turn the tables round
Pieces of one dream drift into the next
Beginning in the darkness
Where they're given birth yet awaiting breath
Lying lifeless until the cradle is open
A finger manipulating the structure
Bleeding it into a vast pit of waste
Stirred shreds of the evidence
Rise as a phoenix from the flame
Speak the words to me
Give them back to me
Better than I've heard them
Let me hear and see
Before I go
