Broken Words

The word was imperfect
and broken half way,
before it took it's shapes.
Sentences were incomplete, 
and some fragmented.
The paragraph was not whole,
Many words were squeezed out
of gaps between the two.
Pages became mutilated
Chapters were partitioned 
and unable to close down
The book covered nothing,
 nothing at all
words flew away out of 
my own mind
recklessly, abandoned 
in the heavy wind
I stopped seeking
the lost meanings of
words........
sentences......
