The ransom note

 

Words.

'Its only..........

…...words.

But they are out of reach

in a mist......

…...missed.

Words used to stream

like a river in its youth

flowing fast and shaping its route.

Putting in a hand

caught a palm full,

dripping onto the page,

then drying,

coming of age

and silently speaking.

But that was then.

And now - they have been kidnapped.

More silent than the silence.

Words in captivity.

Secured in mist ….

….....missed.

The ransom note hasn't come.

Because

I

have the pen

to write it.........

but not the words.

Only its …..

…...words.

Words.
