The Poet's Litany

Oh, you who listens
Hear our voice
You who speaks
Hear our words
You who thinks
Hear our thoughts
You who lives
Hear our breath
You who laments
Hear our cries.

You who knows the truth
Show us ours
You who knows the lie
Show us ours
You who knows life
Show us ours
You who knows death
Show us ours
You who knows fear
Show us ours.

I only see
Because you show me
I only feel
Because you touch me
I only know
Because you tell me
I am only the poet
Because you are the poem.
