The Blow

The blow

I felt from the simple word

rang in my mind then reverbed

through my soul.

I had relished the reading.

I felt the words creep off the page

twirling and encircling

until I became witness

to the dimness

of the room

as disturbance commences.

I was touched by a bird;

merely within the written word.

How dare she say

a word so simple

to a thought

creating a ripple

in the mind of someone

hung on every word

that bloomed.
