I gaze at the paper
beneath my hand
Pen in my fingers
Thinking...
I want to find
the perfect words
to say what is in my mind
Wondering...
If it is possible
through the life I've had
to thank those
Deserving...
To release the hate
I hold so deeply
inside me, towards others
Releasing...
Remove the thoughts
of sorrow
that tear me apart
Removing...
Smiling of the things
time can't wash away
Happy times, friends
Remembering...
Deciding there are
too many of all these
feelings, to write about
Overwhelming...
I gaze again at the beautiful
piece of paper
the pen in hand
Deciding...
All these things
swirling around in my mind
Love, Hate, Sorrow,
Wrong decisions
Are best kept close
to my heart
Safe, Sacred
Only for me to know...
I put the beautiful paper
Away
Searching for the Perfect Words
Will have to wait
For another day...
