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.
