Filtered Words

Stuck in a world of filtered words, 
groomed to embrace this terminology;
Symbols and acronyms; 
Where does that leave a wild wordsmith ?
Gazing at shallow eroded shores 
under stars no one can really see 
longing for the deepest of waters; 

Bottom of the surface touch,
always it seems just out of reach 

Black and white butterfly 
in a world of colorful lines;
Filtered words aren’t enough when 
I see the write within the silence,
surrounded by so many hollow expressions;
Reality dissolves when the thoughts 
blur into something easy to swallow;

Bottom of the surface touch, 
always it seems just out of reach.
