Words — Bet Briggs
[ From her Poems for Azimuth ]

Brushstrokes
on the canvas of a page,
sketches of feeling and thought.

Given voice,
tones moving in time and space,
emotions in sound.

With courage enough
words reach for truth,
lead to visions,
to uplands of peace,
to freedom of revelation
of the heart grown wise
through its pain.

Words
from the deep well of being:
songs of the articulate heart.
