An Avalanche Of Words (I Want So Many Things)

They come so fast that I cannot keep up

and I cannot sit still long enough to write them down

 

I want words

I want so many things

 

I want to jump and dance

I want to sing and cry

I want to keep secrets and make memories

 

I want to shout many words out

at the top of my lungs

until it hurts to breathe

and you can’t hear me anymore

 

I want to run free

and fly with angels

 

I want to hold hands

and look into eyes

that see me

 

I want so many things

I want words

 

beautiful words

words that seek out shadows

and illuminate them

illuminate me

 

words like snowflakes

floating and melting

 

words like waterfalls

rushing and soothing

 

I want words that reach the heavens

and fill the skies

 

words like raindrops

and chocolate

 

words that haven’t been spoken yet

 

words in silence

and words that have life

that bring life

 

I want words inspired

and full of grace

 

I want words

 

I want words to slow down

and mean something

 

I want so many things

 

I want words that make the lion roar

 

words that reveal

words that show truth

words that bring joy

 

I want words that make sense

paint pictures

and strum guitars

 

words that sound trumpets

and ring bells

 

I want words that happen

 

words that breathe

 

I want so many things
