01-15 An Endless Play on Words

Folder: 
DailyPoetryProject

It’s an endless play on words

with meaning for each perspective

broken trains of thought

that roll on and on and on

in an endless play on words

forever meandering

broken hands of time

that build a palace stretching to the sky

for an endless play on words,

pieces of thought construction

broken lines of pages

separate every thousand miles

of an endless play on words

cropping up in circles surrounding

broken passages blocking

every turn you might try to take

from an endless play on words

time sandcastling

broken glass that shatters

into pieces only God can see

among an endless play on words

sitting in the silence

broken by itself

once it learned of its own existence

as an endless play on words

shifting and settling into

broken record dreams

playing on the walls it skips except



when an endless play on words

leaves the flip side blank

broken by the page

where it seems to be empty

but an endless play on words

is written microscopic

broken angels try

to belie all the hidden meaning

of this endless play on words

in a game of highest stakes

broken by the loss

at the cost of hearts and minds and truths

while an endless play on words

lives to give itself

to broken flowers made

whole again with undying love.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I started this song in a fresh notebook I had in my backpack, and after getting through most of the first page, decided that I'm going to fill up the notebook with nothing but this idea of an unending song. So far, the formula remains constant, but we'll see if/how that changes. This entire third week is nothing but An Endless Play on Words.
