alacrity- a cheerful readiness to do something

the hesitant embrace of soft lyrics
the silent promises in my mind
the ardent clicking of the keys
the world disappearing

lips upturned
eyes bright
blue light reflecting off glasses
sliver of sunlight through the window

the screaming of silence put at ease
my thoughts accompanied with sound
words on paper
and thoughts out loud

moving with alacrity
fingers tapping out words
racing thoughts
but all of them light

words the teller of stories
words what we use to talk
words which ones to choose
words that we all try to find

stories which we tell
feelings we try to capture
rising with alacrity to
see and feel and embrace and

let go
