No Lament

Finding myself at a loss for words And it's anything but writer's block I've abandoned my pad and pen Not a thought about the clock Lost in tonight's moments My heart's doing all the talking It's got me walking on the clouds Yeah, the beat's so loud A thousand hues so bright Washing my soul, giving me sight Like a tidal wave crashing over me I can't escape, you're all I see And what I see leaves me speechless Emotions that can't be described A love so fierce, leaves me powerless I can't resist, overtaken from inside Now, here in this quiet moment Watching you sleep, still feeling the beat Lyric without words.. so sweet Unwritten song.. no lament ~Lyric Man Note: I wanted to write something about those times when love is so indescribably glorious that you're at a loss for words.. because they can't hope to contain what is going on inside the heart. Truly, sometimes the best song is the lyric without words!

Lyric Man, I really enjoyed reading this poem. So true I understand how you can have words to say but just don't know in that moment. Keep writing.

A lament of no laments, oh the possibilities of exploration of more than just words, expressions beyond comprehension. I hope you arrived safely at your destination my friend. hugs x

Thank you Nette for your poetic response. And inspiration for a song title based on your comment.. "when love breathes us in" I dig that line!
