Sometimes Words Fail Me
Sometimes words fail me,
The pain of watching war unfold,
Trying to express something that always seems
Just out of reach,
The pain that can accompany love,
The
risk of taking down our mask,
Watching the staggering beauty
of being,
rub against oblivion.
Sometimes words just fail me,
So I offer out my empty hands,
Empty except their hope
of love,
John Roberts
