may my words make a ladder
the letters a rung by rung
may they lift me from my drifting
and from feeling oh so numb
may my words make a ladder
and hoist me from lost sense
may my words make a ladder
and guide me over the fence
may my words make a clatter
as i dare across an abyss
may they find me upon tip toes
and balancing in the bliss
of never knowing what was the matter
or caring what i might miss
my words
