On a String

Communication is the key
To open up the door
Behind which all emotions wait,
To summon or ignore.

For when that lock is opened
And the feelings freely flow,
You might have all the information
That you need to know.

But when the key is out of reach
And you don’t have the facts,
It certainly affects the way
Your mind or heart reacts.

I wish that I could wear this key,
Like kids do, on a string,
‘Cause then I’d hold the power
Only dialogue can bring.
