What delight I find in words:
words that speak to me
with passion’s cause;
words that open up the
world and help me see
with a new lens—see the
beauty, see the rage,
see the love so often hidden.
I want to throw off the skin
of ignorance and see all
the colours shining,
see myself in freedom
to become a person
of the world—a person
of insight and compassion
who sees the person not
the disease.
