step into a poem
           with
            me
and see the words through someone else's
           eyes
  trip along the syllables
and taste the sweetness of the rhyme
the dripping of the consonants
    creates a music all its own
thundering vowels and whirling images
transcened our sleeping thoughts
the drums of the heart beet anew
    and carry us far
            far
            far
   to another place
   and another time
   and another way
        of being...
