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

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!
