Words

Words Cannot Express...

By Rebekah L. Perkins

There are somethings words just can't capture

The first cry of a baby, or his first burst of laughter

The soft lullaby coming from a new mothers lips

And the little fingers gripped tightly as into dreamland he slips

Though words have power, and can do many things

They have yet to catch the strain of midnight dreams

Never have they caught the essence of early morning

When all around the little birds break forth and sing

No words that have been written in all time

Have known the thrill at the top of a mountain climb

The gap in the clouds where filtered sunlight peaks through

Or the true awe of watching the settling of the dew

The peaceful beauty of a summer afternoon

Or watching the rising of the beaver moon

When the first leaf falls from the old maple tree

Or the endless roar of the lonesome sea

A cry in the night that sends shivers up your spine

Or the awkward moment when you find someone has built you a shrine

Those cries of joy when loved ones reunite

And the pain when your emotions you fight

That moment when you look deep into someone's eyes

And the billions of sparkling orbs in the nights skies

The sunshine's effect on giant fields of wheat

Or that gesture that is inexpressibly sweet

The wells of hope swelling in a little child's heart

Or when that last bond is broken, and a relationship falls apart

How the terror of one thought can shake a persons soul

Or how love into your heart silently stole

.That moment you look up and everyone's eyes are on you

And the strong bond of friendship shared between two
The thoughts in the moment when you think you're about to die
Or what a thrill it would be to stretch out your arms and fly

The power of words, though sometimes seems limitless

Non of these things can fully express

There is a element which words just cannot reveal

An element to things that our hearts understand, but no words can unveil
