Mel Merrill Poet Rhyme

Ten-Thousand Words

I would write ten-thousand words,
If I could make you see--
The beauty of the sky, and birds,
And how you look to me.

Yet my words are frail, and weak,
As they stumble and they fall--
For there is no word for such as you...
There are no words, at all.

--Mel
