If I could express this singular moment
What would it be?
How would I say it?
Are there ever words enough?
Is there ever an expression,
Which with conciseness can express
Precisely what I feel?
I struggle and I yearn
For something better, something more
I turn the words
Hoping that something will emerge
That vaguely matches what I feel.
Right now I can't quite find it
For I'm empty and yet full
Reaching but content
Still but restless,
And I still can't find the word...
There is so much I'd like to say
For that moment - flown away
Evades description
And by the time some soul
Might happen upon this poem
Countless others will have gone
In similar fashion
As inexpressible particles of existence.
