Words



Words

Words run around inside my head
While I’m lying in my bed
When I cannot sleep at night;
So, I get up and try to write
Down the things I want to say
But fine the words have run away.

I look up at the planting moon,
And in my head I hear a tune.
I start to move and feel by chance
My feet have begun to dance;
I look for words that I might sing
But can’t recall a single thing.

Somewhere there’re words that I can use
In my responses to the Muse
When she whispers in my ear
The song of life, simple and clear;
So, I will search until I find
Elusive words and make them mine.
