words today...

 

Words today are 

slipping 

through 

my 

fingers. 

I grasp for them and 

they shirk away. 

bothered, I continue on. 

 

words. words. words.

 

Is something hiding beneath my 

emotionless façade? 

why do people seem 

            so fastidious 

and conversations 

so meaningless? 

 

words. words. words. 

 

There is more to life than reason and 

truth is not monolithic. 

but Truth is all we’re after. 

 

words. words. words. 

 

Do your questions outlast your answers? 

or is that just my 

cynical mind and me? 

where is the beauty?  

 

words. words. words. 

 

what is religion good for 

except 

wars and strife and shame? 

but where is 

hope and light found, if not 

nestled in my faith? 

 

words. words. words. 

 

I haven’t let anyone in.

I haven’t let anyone down. 

 

words. words. words.
