Words

Words on paper
meaning within letters.
deciphering descriptions.

Nonsense metaphors
long analogies
including similes.

Okay, fine.
Rhymes, too
Finding space for the syllables,
an interlude.

A coat slipping off the cliff-hanger
How does the story end?
letters hold meaning, but so do our minds
Who says there's one timeline?

Choose the ending you desire.
the one that speaks truth.
the freedom is yours, light up the fire.
Pen on paper, like a map giving you an answer.
Thoughts in your brain, like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
