Dangerously organic!

A Child Who Could Not Speak

Words bounce from his mouth
Like gumballs jumping
From their slippery slot
Clattering to the floor
Scattering
Rolling falling....

Thoughts tied behind in darkiness
Pounding struggling
To be freed.

In his dreams a miracle:
He is a word,
Sliding down a banister,
Opening the front door
To sunshine!

Thanks, Ellen. These children have such a rough time trying to express themselves. Happily they can have music and different types of technology. Lois
