ALL AMAZED

  That which was shut fast hath been opened

  Like when you touch down,

  a new planet grasping for someone else’s air,

  lost in the casual Earth.

  There’s just no words for this.

  I am the experiencer,

  clinging to a shrinking vocabulary

  as I dictate the names of stars

  and souls.

  It’s physically painful, not knowing how to describe it.

  Amazed and understood

  The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  even as I wrestle with the truth,

  the words that beat for my heart

  I’ve tried writing it down, but how?

  like frantic waves tapping staccato

  code into the ocean floor.

  Millions of words in dusty books

  I can’t begin to describe the experience.

  and I am only limits, awe, and being.

  Like etching the threads of your life

  with a child’s restaurant crayons,

  So frustrating, that I can’t tell you exactly what it was like.

  the points breaking, the meaning

  smudged and water-stained by

  a child’s cup. The meaning of life

  The most powerful moment, and it escapes me.

  dictated on table paper by the speaker.

  4As frustrating as it is, I will not describe it to you;

  but, one day, you will know what it is like too.

  This is my feeble attempt.
