In The Moment

Do you know what I mean, even when I can’t find the right words?

There are these rare moments when I feel as though the instant I try to put something into words, it somehow loses some of its meaning. It’s as if the word I’ve found isn’t quite as good as I wanted it to be. And I hate to settle on something unsure & unstable in its meaning. But I guess that’s the thing about words, just about every word has more than one meaning, so it doesn’t feel quite as real or definitive.

Sometimes I just have to put my limited vocabulary aside & simply bask in the moment I’ve become a part of somehow. No labels, no words, just a feeling that eludes description.

Quote: Raining Words

“Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” – Rumi

 

Quote: Time or Words

You have a responsibility.

Live Through the Lines

When you speak
You have to live through the lines
Words have to be felt to be heard
Felt to be accepted by the masses
Be real for just one minute
Find that courage & set it free
Allow yourself to be vulnerable
It’s all in the delivery

Fill In

Expand my vocabulary.

Fill in the story of my life.
Give me an ending worth beginning.
A new chapter is just what I needed.
Turn the page on yesterday.
In the same way that words become realized,
The ink hits the page when you touch me deeply.
Expand my vocabulary.
Visions of smiles & ecstasy leap off the page.
You & I do things that history can’t write away.
Flesh me out, take me out of my mind.
Your affection gives me conviction.
Make me move towards that denouement.
Can’t wait any longer to find that happy ending.
Don’t leave me hanging on your last word.
Finish what you’ve started.
