then came the words

a barren field 

once full in bloom 

stood quietly as wind blew by

no rain nor sun could revive 

the rotten roots beneath the ground 

a page as blank as my stare

once full of scribbles 

sat peacefully as time flew by 

no laugh nor soul could inspire 

the ink to splot

but you came in 

swirling and laughing 

and swept up my field 

sewing the seeds 

you danced along

my empty stanzas

and marked my page 

with unspeakable words
