LOST WORDS
By Ashley Bray
My words are lost again.
Murky,
muddled,
tangled,
trapped.
They simply feel untrue.
This ailment no fancy journal or fountain pen can cure.
But I know what I must do.
Be brave.
Abandon language.
With my brush,
palette,
and paint I am more than heard.
I am seen.
And understood.
