For Words (Ars Poetica)

Words are worthless.
Graves waiting to be filled.
Shadows of matter
In a world we did not build.

Soft-spoken poets suffer
For they’re afraid of sorrow
Outspoken poets suffer
For they’re afraid of tomorrow.

Sorrow from bothering
The sickness of the departing;
The future is a new present
In which lost souls are reuniting.

The poet who surrenders
To the soft hand of time
Understands the tie
And awaits for it to unwind.

Before he says goodbye,
He hopes to have traveled at least
The distance between two hearts
So that his mind can rest in peace.

Then,
Even his shadow will dance.
