In a corporeal internship...

How do you describe
That certain feel
You cannot grasp
Because it's surreal?
In music and love
And even in fear,
In all the things shunned
And all the things dear?

In personal thoughts;
Individual dreams,
Your goal and objective:
Express as it seems
It's very important
Your feelings to share
Though you think you're alone,
We've all been there...

Writing such a song
To me means everything...
When things are going wrong,
A melody will ring
I try to say what's on my mind
In a way that's not cliche,
But when I look inside,
You're all I find...
Maybe...  someday...
You'll feel the same way...

Whichever form
You decide to use,
It's your choice to
Light the creative fuse
Everyone has
Something to express...
Sharing it with others
You'll find happiness

But more important
Than your own content
Is the feeling in the message
You just sent
To anyone willing
To make for real
Your personal emotion
In that certain feel...

this is wonderful...expressing our emotions so others can feel and relate to them is why we write....no?

Liking this, with a certain feel.  
Many thoughts, unexplainable sometimes, but its a hell of an attempt we give it here. And in our hearts as well.

Mark,
     Our expressions from deep within is what makes us each unique, and yet fundamentally the same in our essence and longing for comfort and love.  Superbly written!

Most certainly, SEA...  or at least, I hope so.  I think we write first to please ourselves, either conciously or subconciously, and secondly to please others.  BUT, I think that the "really good stuff" is that which meets our personal expectations/criteria while at the same time those of others as well, whereas the "BEST stuff" happens when we're inspired by another, write it for another, and in the process, meet our own standards and make ourselves elated as much as the audience for whom it is written...  but how often does that happen?  Thanks for enjoying!

Yes, Sunshine...  that certain feel is described by experiencing it, for it is that process which brings us to its true definition.  Thank you for your thoughts.

Sandra, it is an art, both in its practice and in its being.  I figure, where words leave off, music picks up, for certain sounds need no words.  Thanks for the reply.

Once again, Elise:  that inexplicable paradox of our existance when two things both are and aren't at the very same time.  Once we can learn to know one, then we have it as a form of comparison for/with/to the other.  Thanks for the nice words.
