The boldest faces

are the ones making the transition

from babbles to bubbly speech.

The boldest thoughts

are spoken aloud from the

smallest and high-pitchiest of mouths.

The most audacious dreams

come from the youthful minds

uncorrupted by flocks of fear and failure.

As is all things, the newest to come and the soonest to go all speaks their first or final truths,

while all other lives find themselves bounded, wandering, in the nothingness of the middle.
