“A closed mouth never gets fed.”
Replay the wise words you said.
Shadows of a time that fled,
feelings followed where hearts led.
Random fears dance in her head.
“A closed mouth never gets fed”
Whispered voices fade till dead,
wish this voice could sing instead.
Hesitance steadily treads,
balanced poise jumps on a thread.
“A closed mouth never gets fed.”
Hope deep inner thoughts are read.
Absorb the knowledge you bled,
absolving every last debt.
Confidence imprints to spread.
“Opened mouth forever fed.”
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
