Words of Choice

A light when held can burn the hands
Or reach out to a fellow man,
Or dry the tears from eyes of grief,
And stop a masked or midnight thief.

A song when sung can ring with joy
Or sharply turn—a trick or ploy—
To block a path of love unseen,
Or rivers wide with hopes and dreams.

Each day a twist of give and take
To sink or swim, or bridge to make;
Our choice to build or lift or break,
Or rhymes from which through words escape.

D.K.Shaw
