If I could I would convey it This thing I know But words are too heavy, solid and misshapen Music perhaps, could do it If sounds could be liquefied Painted with a brush Or art, if only colors Could be inhaled and felt Sometimes it grips me like a melody Sad and sweet and proud Fingers winding invisibly through my chest To caress my naked, beating soul When you feel this way>br> Like your heart is held by wispy tendrils When its beats become your world When everything is exposed Like a snowflake on your fingertip Like a breath of frozen air expelled Like shimmering heat off parched desert floor When you feel all this Then You are close But close is not the same As being there Nor are sacrament and ritual The same As touching God A thousand ways are possible A million ways are blessed But try to find just one That is the greatest test by John Telos Copyright © John Telos Inspiration: From a journal in which I seek the deeper things |
