No Words

Sometimes there are no words,
I’ve found
My search goes unfulfilled.
I look about
Eyes up,
Eyes down,
My inspiration’s drowned.
 
Some things are just too hard for words.
And though words are my friend,
It’s times I really need them most,
That friendship seems to end.

I think I can rely on them,
To know just what to say,
To find a way to calm your nerves…
Make your worries go away.
But words run off to distant lands
When times become too hard
 
Lost, or hiding, most unkindly
We sit scared and scarred.
So please forgive me
When you need me
To help you ease your pain
If I simply hold your hands,
From speaking, I’ll refrain.
