Worlds Apart?

And Yet Together

With words we do relate
To things others cannot
We strive for perfection
Alas, fleeting as it is

Words bring us comfort
Sometimes they make us cry
Encouragement can come
Criticism rears its ugly head

We are bound up in words
Cannot live without them
We are different, sometimes, yes
But still we are here

Our lives matter too
Difficult our path may be
Poetry our breath, our song
Living in a different world
