there are times i’m out of words
and it makes me question
what it means to be a writer
but those speechless times
bring my words to life
it’s in that silence and in that zone
where my words carry weight
there is no word without purpose
a word has a code rooted within
i can sort some syllables
and make sentences rhyme
but there’s nothing more real
than a true word
stacked with another
and flowing into something bigger
yet the truest part of a word
is what it means to me
what it means to you will be different
and that’s the beauty of truth
we awaken our own dreams
maybe that’s why there are people
and there are creators
-Grace
Author’s Note – I wrote this yesterday in all of 15 minutes, I was in that zone :). And upon catching up on my reader this morning, I realized today is World Poetry Day :). It is a little bit wild to me that when you follow your inner muse, it leads you to exactly what you’re meant to express. If there’s any type of perfection, that is it.

Aren’t words amazing? Sometimes there are none…in those highest moment of epiphany or
or when we go beyond words. I think visiting those wordless states, help us appreciate every one when we return. Without words we can not touch each other far away, or communicate or make a point, or write a poem that might be just what someone was waiting to hear. I think to choose the best words, we need to know the silence:) Your poem beautifully talks of this. Another gem you bring up from your own depths, dear Grace….Bravo!

And the best response to you would be of No Words – for you say everything so exactly for where your note and your poem comes from. The purest form of truth comes out in the most beautiful rhymes from that special kind of silence space that seems not want to say anything really.

As you have written it within 15 minutes, I see your feelings, not words in this poem, coming naturally from the bottom of your heart. And yes, Grace, real and meaningful words germinate from the silence. Words remain the same, but human perspective differs from time to time and place to place. I’m amazed how you have brought it out so meticulously. Belated happy world poetry day, my friend 😊💖

I think our most honest work arises from this feeling of not being able to write. Then only what’s need to be said comes to the forefront and that’s what seem to have happened with this exceptional piece Grace 🙂
