It Must Be There

perchance there are no words
no language to describe it
or definition to relate to
it must be there
where it is that silence falls
my voice cries inside to be relieved
just as leaves shiver in the wind
and still it goes on, unheard



just some words cut out
from the diary of my heart

1slick_lady, This is a lovely write my friend, you are right, there must be a place, I believe if lies inside of us all, when the need, it might escape in or dreams or nightmares, for us then to be able to hold more in, you sound very much as I.

Be well dear friend and take care. Enjoyed the read.

Sincerely
Rick

Hi Helen. Love this. Dang I am reading lots of great poetry this morning. This verse you have gifted me with is one of the best I've read thus far. The language useage speaks to my heart. It is refreshing and makes for a great read. Well done my friend...well done indeed.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

....and there are two kinds of silence, one without sound and one that's made of empty noise. You've known both, I think -- and not nearly far enough in the past.

Then the diary of your heart is where it is, truth, and I bet lots of love for all.
Enjoyed this read very much, thanks for sharing words cut out from your heart.
