All the Lost Words
This is where I came to find
all the lost words I left behind
The things I thought I couldn’t say
The words I dropped along the way
The sentences that circled ‘round
my head, just like a royal crown
All the words I needed “when…”
are in this place where they have always been
The times I stuttered and couldn’t speak
the times my words had left me weak
were just outside my clumsy grasp
locked away in “elsewhere’s” past
But now I have found them and I rejoice
at my new words and my new voice…
