Words Poem by Paul Brenthley Adan

Words are but mere manifestations of images of how we want to be.
Eloquent phrases and exuberant quotes may challenge the hardest of hearts
But it is never quite the same to envision your goal and speak the simplest of words

I have my words but they fail in comparison to you
Your voice lingers amidst music and laughter…
A sudden smile and a simple nod completes my existence

Far from reality I spend my time wondering… hoping…
Tonight I perish from this dream for hope has deserted me and new life is nowhere to be found.
