No Signature Needed

Copyright © 2010 Van Wood

You write a verse of words your own; you sign it not; it speaks alone  
of things a signature obscures; these words are yours

No famous name need boast its worth, these words alone speak louder still
Though nothing new is on the earth, these words new thoughts distill

These words are yours beyond debate, but hold them near you cannot do
You cut the ties and let them go; these words will speak for you

A poem needs no darkened path; no painful angst or flame of wrath
It only needs to light the way of all who read and walk this path
