Voiceless

ache, Adventure, life on the foreign field, Poetry, this college life, , , , , , , ,

Words burn within me

To tell all the others

The beauty I saw today.

The mountain’s high crest

The forest’s red haze

The foam of the river’s spray

 

A piercing of light

A wind tossed swallow

The mist of a mountain’s shroud

The boldness of color

The caress of a breeze

The wisps of a wind scattered cloud

 

But the deepest things

That are caught in my soul

In muted aching cry

Are the flash of a smile

The gleam of teeth

The light in a villager’s eye

 

A faint shy smile

A word exchanged

And laughter quick and keen

These are the treasures

That I long to share

From all that today I have seen.

 

Originally written in February of 2017, this poem came to mind after my day today.

Indescribable

********************************************

Two little hands reaching, clinging tightly

Around my neck, not letting go;

The brush of hair against my face,

Dark, curled eyelashes on tear-stained cheek;

The clutch of a small hand clasped in my own,

A wave, a smile, a kiss in the wind;

(Eyes too old for a face so young-

Confused and sad and left behind;

Tears of anger at a world so cruel)

A whisper of trust, an “I love you.”

***********************************************************

I have never before loved like this.

Around my neck, not letting go.
