Searching for the
Words
i wished to sing to
you an aubade but the words are lost
i keep
searching the tune misplaced perhaps i can speak the words to you
the moon was
large in the night time sky the moonlight bright
so bright bear
turned over her sleep disturbed
sometimes the words
i have been searching for are found dried
like old
cheese the edges curled when i try to sing them
they are so
dry they no longer exist in their old form
they unravel like threads along the edge become fringe
or night mare
melodies you deserve better i will continue to search

Beautifully haunting!!
I think words sung with love, even in a cracked voice, must be received well by the listener...........beautifully written, my friend.
Any song will stir the strings of emotions.. wake that bear... :-)
Sometimes words are hard to find....and when they are found, sometimes the meaning has been lost alone the way.....
A lovely poem, and so emotional .
wonderful.
As someone else already said, this is haunting Annell. Our song changes, or gets changed many times over the span of our lifetime. We get busy, lose the thread, but often a different stronger thread comes to replace it. And thanks much for your comment, it made me laugh out loud,

Words are important of course but feelings are too. Often words are superfluous when love is concerned.
"nightmare melodies"---what an interesting contrast of words and emotions you've poised together here.
so touching...words of love has its own tune and color...a wonderful read...
I believe your words always shine but of course we search for better - to match - love, longing...care..i love the she-bear she feels very significant and maybe eternal? xo
