Words
Words on a line
On a page
On a napkin
Words thumbed down
On the go
On my iPhone (how weary!)
Words suddenly flood
Onto my brain
Onto my conscience
Seize the day
Seize them words
For like breath they quickly become air
For words they fleet
Like bees from stem to stigma
Gone in the blink of an eye
Never to return
Leaving you to burn
Like a blazing trail of fire
So now you know
The capriciousness
Of words
Savour each one
The minute they come
Or you’ll forever miss your turn
