Sometimes I am at a loss
Sometimes I am at a loss
the words will not come forward
to be released, spoken and heard
Instead, I feel the emotion
start in my head, and work its way down
to the soles of my feet..
They say the eyes can often
be the window to one’s soul
Yet, I know when I am not angry
the sparks that glitter from my eyes
are not a reflection
of what I feel inside
NO, of course I’m not hiding
it is only that what I feel
and what I want to say
get lost inside my head
I feel the pull, I feel the need
but to feel is not to comprehend
there are times when what is said
is not what is really in my head
Like i say, sometimes, I’m simply at a loss…
has my ability to speak died, am I dead
of course not.. it is merely that at times
it is not what is said, but rather, the actions
of the moment, like when you fall out of bed
when the world says wake up…
and you still want to lie in bed
sometimes that can’t be done
it just happens that way
one minute you are alone
and the next…. someone else
has stepped into your head
and now
the words that come unbidden
to the conscious mind
leave you at a loss.
