Fly Away Words

Words are flowing through my head
Like a rippling brook

I'm afraid I'll loose them
If I take a look

Too close and poof!
They're gone

Flying into the unknown
Goodbye words,

Goodbye poem,

You've flown from me too soon

Come again fluid words of wisdom

I want to hear your call

Singing like a meadow lark
Shouting like a lions roar

Come again, I whisper

Come, dear words of mine

Come, I plead, I call

But you do not answer at all.
