Words part III

some words seem to flow like the soft love of the flowers
some words stay with you forever
and some seem to grow an take a life of their own
when they want to be said
pregnant with meaning
soft with hate and rough with love
i speaak and say less than i mean
more than i know
i have wandered this lonely road
looked into her eyes
but the words never seem to come they have failed me
once again
once more
i sing my silent song
lay my mute words on life's bed
like lovers we play
but the words hang unspoken in the air
i can almost touch them i can almost see them
would they whisper their meaning
would they tell me that i can now see ?
forgive me words
forgive me all who i talked to
for they have never heard what i really meant to say
all this makes me cry
and as i think these words the tears stream down my sun touched face
i furrow my brow and then seem to smile some
bittersweet thought
the words for this too are lost in me
the words of my heart have lost their way
