so much

we have so much to say
but cannot find the words
to express what lies 
within our hearts
so many ways to speak
but too little time 
as my eyes drift 
towards setting sun
I try to say the words 
before it’s too late

  1. Your poem beautifully and simply captures that familiar aching, the awareness of dwindling time to say what truly matters💞

  3. Arcadia your poem resonates with me. I think of what is left to say to my sons and think of what hadn't been said between my folks and me.

  4. So often the words are hard to find then one finds that time has disappeared.

  5. A quadrille I’m sure will resonate with many readers, as it does with me, Maria. There are indeed ‘so many ways to speak but too little time’.

  6. So poignant. I agree with others that it resonates. Even those of us who love words sometimes are at a loss.
