Capture

Capture the life inside a sound

With vibrations build its bars

Bend the noise and magical voice

Twist its light into glorious stars

Imprison the life in quick pen strokes

Read aloud its form and feature

Box it in with a singsong voice

Turn its light into a creature

Trap the life in voice and volume

Call its shape into existence

Write and speak and yell and sing

Mold its sparks to create distance

Take the life and hold it captive

See it’s worthy of awe and rapture

Build its bars then set it free

For someone else to find and capture
