What to Say?

by William S Cottringer — Read all 146 poems by William S Cottringer

A little poem about words getting in between seeing things and enjoying them.

Sunday, March 22, 2009

 

What to Say?
           By
Bill Cottringer
 
Looking at the river,
Flowing to the falls,
Seeing what I know,
Just the simple sight,
Enjoying it so fully,
Without need for words,
Wandering in my mind,
Getting lost in between,
The river and me,
Making it harder to see;
The wise write words,
The less wise read them,
Passing on more words,
Needing to telling others,
About this something,
Those words interpret,
Making this thing,
Yet harder to see,
Let alone enjoy. 
The Prosperity Zone

Such a descriptive penning being caught between two worlds, the seeing and the explaining...

Be always safe,
Karen
