Syllable
Could mortal lip divine
the undeveloped Freight
Of a delivered syllable
'Twould crumble with the weight.
Word
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That Day.
Phrase
I found the phrase to every thought
I ever had - but One -
And that - defies me -
As a Hand did try to chalk the Sun
To Races - nurtured in the Dark -
How would your own - begin?
Can Blaze be shown in Cochineal -
Or Noon - in Mazarin?
