Words escape me:
They fly from my lips
Before being released,
They soar past the clouds
Like swallows in spring.
Words escape me:
They lodge in my throat

Words escape me:
They fly through the wind
Searching for other minds,
So their potential
Will be truly found.
Words escape me:
They flutter beyond
My reach, I grope for them,
A blind girl searching
For a pretty phrase.
Words escaped me:
And dashed to corners
And edges of the dark,
I am left alone
A girl with dreams to fly.
