A composition of my condition
Be it here or there
I know not where
My composition goes
Oh how I ponder upon these words
So often caught in such turmoil
The words they seem to often drift
along the shore as seashells
So beautiful but never found
at the right exact moment

The sun hastens upon these words of beauty
just as the rain drops upon the window ledge
makes such a sound of constant essence
upon my mind

Turbulence surrenders to my mind
as it overtakes the passages of joy
sadness, pain, happiness.
So many passages of words
tunnel through and narrowly
escape the darkness
That would hold them hostage for
yet another day

Words do hold such a meaning
They hold us in a timeless pause
that only they can do.
Compositions of such delight
That would make you smile and cry
all in the same instant.

Sweeter than music to my ear
Is words that tell of such truth
passion,
Poetry composes this composition
For all the world to see.
So here we are once again
in the forest of my mind
going on a safari
with such a tangled vine
that seems to invade the deepest jungles
but still the roar of the lion
calls persuading me to follow
Compose this composition
to capture the lion
that can tame the wildest king
to make them tame and meek
with words of such surrender
alas we go gliding along the winds
as the birds do
as free as the breeze upon my face.
And so I beg of you
dazzle my mind for yet another day
until tomorrow is yet tomorrow
and today is today.
To the journey's to be
and the journey's that have already
become a part of my heart, soul and mind.

You have defined words very nicely here.

I'm grabbing my hat and coat
I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!
