I Wrote A Word Down
I wrote a word down, a single word to start.
A tall grand idea, but still only an inkling of a spark.
An aloof outstanding thought — shaped like a square, rounded peg;
Universally brilliant icebreaker, but for a partner it begged.
Keyboard clicking with proud grandiose;
Frantically searching for a phrase to boast.
I delicately skim over, grazing the surface;
Hoping my fingers sink down and reveal this episode’s purpose.
The essence of my being escapes physical expression;
I imagine the letters seeping; out in fabulous succession.
Falling to the page seeking order, looking, longing…
To find their place in the paragraph and hope of belonging.
Jockeying for a position, in the sentence of chance;
For their voice to be seen and heard in a momentary glance,
They dodge and parry, taking form as my perception sees light;
Like the flapping wings of a bird lifting off to take flight.
Like the golden rays burning the clouds to make way;
For a spectacular momentary vocabulary display.
A marvelous concoction of phrases, words of elation;
Masterpieces of diction need no punctuation.
The piece takes form, a perfect wave of unbridled omission;
On which I ride, with beautiful inspiring submission.
I have sculpted my David and with my words conquered Goliath;
Exquisitely exposed my soul, and with each keystroke proclaimed triumph.
On this a perfectly executed elaborate work of art
But alas only a fantasy as I still search for the second word to move my wondering heart.
