I thought I would see what with words I could do <br />wrote a few poems, well quite a few <br />and skilfully made a point or two. <br />But I found that I couldn't do with words <br />what the words, alone can do. <br /> <br />I listened to the music that made them dance <br />found rhythmic and lyrical ways to say <br />what the dancing music had played. <br />But I found with the music I could not make it play <br />the purest sounds that in my heart did lay. <br /> <br />I listened to my heart, in stillness, bright, not dark. <br />I asked if the words might shine <br />as they danced to the music that wasn't mine. <br />I sit and watch, wait patiently, <br />wonder if my prayer, will ever appear, <br />in the words we see.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heart-felt-2/
