I Tried

I tried to say the words
that leapt from my soul
I tried to send the messages
Scrolled with every breeze
I tried to express feelings
New and unknown to me
Never certain you could hear
Leaping, blowing, falling
In the air I breathe
When truth left my lips

When one speaks the truth from the heart, it really doesn't matter what words they use. The eyes say what the tongue can't. Nicely penned, Heidi.
