Words and Stories Lost and Found

Words and Stories lost and found

There are words floating

Above the sand dunes

Behind the falling waters

Of a crushing waterfall

Words flowing with sparkling streams

Running down the slopes Words mixed with

Sands of sea shores

Even hide above clouds

Lurk in bushes

Behind sunrise and sunsets

Mountains valleys pastures

And undulating greens

They are easy to catch

Can place them on paper

With panache

There are other words

Floating in bubbles

Above faces in a crowd

That try hard to hide

Their deep turmoil

Some make it a point to show

Their unbearable load

Others an acceptance

Though not sure

What it means

As one tries to catch them

Write them down in ink

Give them life on dead paper

They fly high on their wings

To avoid getting caught

Out of the writers reach

Even if some are caught

They stay blank or scrambled

And in their place

Words that writer had lost

To bubbles above his face

Trickle down on a clean sheet

Into paragraphs and verses

Conveying well controlled

Feelings hidden deep
