Finding Her Words

She hadn't written anything for far too long. The shape and the taste of words. Had drifted far from view. As she forgot how to use them. But she knew she would need them one day. To tell her stories. It might have been the singing flute she heard in her dreams. It might have been the words dancing on the wind. But she knew she would use them again one day. It would be the in-between worlds. Where she would find the truth of her words. And that would be just fine with her. Wrote Feb 21st, 2017 6:30 pm I haven't posted for about six months

A great and wonderful write. i also has the same experience, i had thoughts and words but could not give vent to the feelings because words are not found for most of the feelings........It is really a true reflection of illusions in the mind, dreams etc..........

I agree with Robert down here. You said this beautifully with so few words.

My goodness. You are giving me goosebumps--you know the feeling when something gives the chills. You may not have been here for a while, but you have not forgotten how to write beautifully. I feel so very lucky this morning to have seen this and to have gotten your comment. You are one of the few who has a magic flair. It's so true and real, that the words are like a spirit that transports you to each reader's brain. It's almost as if you are right here. Truly amazing.
