The wonderful beyond words

The wonderful beyond words
is what and where I'm always
trying to get.

With words!
Which may seem

dumb, or self-defeating, but I find

one often can - by dint of reach
and grasp - pull such strange wonderful

from nothingness
and into form,
by processes mysterious,

with nothing lost by trying it.
With no diminishment
of all the wonderful that lies
beyond - for us to catch and steal

our handsfuls of, and gorge
our gorgeous selves
upon.

  2. Thank you, Steph!

    This belongs to the rather large subclass of poems tooting my own horn for some reason.

If it looks like spam and contains a link, though, it will not be published. I will cherish it to myself, instead. Thank you!
