Russell Sivey Poet Free verse

The Loss For Words

The loss for words
Is excelling me forward
To another level
Beyond what is heard
It’s a thought process
At which thinking is
Like a foster memory
Or a lost art
But before condemning
Someone without words
To speak what they need…
Lift their minds higher
And hear what is beyond
The realms of typical
Understanding

“Sleepy eyes proudly pause
At the entrance of the maze
Where the words don’t regret
Not being able to amaze”

Russell Sivey

Gregory Richard Barden August 29, 2017 at 7:50 AM I love this Russell - truly, this is a wondrous little gem of a poem, and I'm fav-ing it! But I need to ask. Where have you been, my friend? I have so missed your kind comments! Oh, please don't feel an obligation - I don't mean to do that - they have just become a source of daily joy for me, and I pray all is OK, and that I haven't written something to offend you. Blessings, Brother - much love and respect!
