Reason for Meaning
July 30, 2010
I have learned I cannot write,
Words pore from waterfalls,
Across crisp white paper meaning,
Nothing, all words with emptiness,
Truth is behind them,
Every letter I make stand,
But I search for one,
A meaning, a reason, a purpose,
Hoping that it will pour out once,
A small taste,
No matter how bitter or sweet,
Without it this nonsense,
Is nonsense with empty spaces,
No one to connect or understand,
No one, just no one,
Only these blank words, open spaces,
Crisp paper gasping for air,
That reason for life.
