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.

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!
