There are letters and words
with punctuation marks
and pauses to be read.
With his pen,
the writer tells his story,
or writes his poetry.
The reader picks up
the work of a writer;
reads, narrates to be heard,
revives the life in the written words
of the writer's poem or story.
Line after line,
the narrator reads;
values the spaces
between the lines, and
glances at his audience.
The spaces between the lines
which he reads
bridge his own world
to the world of his listeners.
