Hope



Do you ever have days
When you cannot describe
The over-awesomeness of life
In spoken words?
And are there ever times
When you just are unable  
To make your tongue express
The …ness of an unexplained
Feeling in the soul?
There is magic in those moments
And there is hope in those moments
For if they don’t exist
It means you’re lost at heart
And have been squeezed into place
Where all your moments are easily explained
And that mysterious, confused part of you is gone.
So when you are feeling in a way in which words cannot explain
Don’t give up
For it is a sign that you
Are still complex and hopeful deep inside
And know that you are special, not lost.
And above all, know that you are still thinking things beyond this language.
