The Birth of a Poem

It begins

In a breath
caught
and
a moment
stolen.

In thirsts
unquenched
and
hungers
denied.

In a kiss
returned
and
an embrace
shared.

In wounds
opened
and
screams
swallowed.

In a past
released
and
a sin
forgiven.

In cries
silenced
and
tears
unshed.

In a battle
ended
and
peace
bestowed.

In a word
broken
and
a dream
lost.

In beauty
beheld
and
wonder
born.

In a hope
chained
and
a future
held captive.

In storms
spent
and
life
renewed.

It begins.
