Wandering Among Words





I’ve been there
Those moments where
I just don’t quite belong
In the clatter and the chatter
Of the blithe and carefree throng

I’ve been where
Faces long and grim
Demand a somber glance
When all I really long to do
Is cheer and sing and dance

Words are not
Judgmental
They neither pick nor choose
But meld into our pondering
In a thousand nameless hues

I like it here
The atmosphere
Is charged with nothing more
Than perfect possibility
Of what a-waits in store
