Words cannot express


Words cannot express the depth of the pain and sorrow you feel
And how, despite the hurt you’re stumbling through, some still expect that core of steel
To show in your upright walk, head held high when all you want to do is kneel
With your head on the floor, curled in a ball, like sleep’s the only action with any appeal. 

Words cannot express how elements formed millennia ago in the depths of stars
Bound together, flourished as human, weaving together life’s intricate spars
And the deep bruises existence writes endure, but still, nothing mars
The heavenly beauty embossed in the form, its light from within, revealed by the scars. 

Words cannot express how deeply you are loved and embraced
By the Father, familiar with grief, the rawness of loss, the journeys and battles you’ve faced
On those paths, as His love, on your heart, with His fingers he’s traced
He carries, enfolds you, supports you, His innermost thoughts you have graced. 

When you’re reeling, not seeing where it’s coming from next
And sometimes you long for a hug and sometimes you just need a text
Not everyone understands, not all can read the context
And when sharing, well meaning, not always well landing words, disregard their effects. 

Words cannot express how you’re worn out with carrying on and you’re too tired to fight 
When the dark closes in and the sorrow robs your heart of all light
In the endless black void of the sleepless and long empty night. 
You long for that someone you lost, that you need there, to hold you so tight. 

Words cannot express when waves of agony leave you so empty, unable to cry
When the floodgates have opened but the lake behind them run dry
And your will to act, like a featherless chick, has no means to fly
Words cannot express but when there’s nothing else, they’ll have a good try.
