Words like lead,
Tossed upon water so smooth,
Sinking fast
They won’t last,
Sinks below dragging the mood,
Still heavy
So heavy,
Quenching the fire’s burning,
In deep pool,
Very cool,
Drown and froze still keeps yearning,
Words like lead,
Only written never said.

~PG, what a weighted piece of writing. Enjoyed the flow, the haunting tone, and the overall release. - (If I read correctly, the 'ocean' does seem to swallow too quickly the words of our hearts). Thanks. *Peace.

98% of my words have been written and never said, suddenly I feel SO weighted down

very good... and yes ... one of the reason I started to write at all... so full of emotion and not knowing where to put it all

Thank you, Zinsser,
Sometimes we need to get the words out,
Even if no one is listening,
I am pleased you liked these lead words
That sink so quickly in this pool
