intangible

I learn however I can,

exploring the fractals rapidly forming,

exploding onto the canvas of black sky,

expelling glorious colors



Wandering under a full moon

Watching wispy clouds pass

     on their journey to where

Clutching a notebook, recording thoughts

Everything is significant,

    abstract observations



I've got so much to say

A cloud of electric mist

I extend my hand only to watch it vanish

On rare occasion I succeed,

bask in the initial triumph



Soon after, I realize the magnitude

    of the intangible mass

Wondering if I have the capacity

    to do it justice

Am I destined to be imprisoned by

    this sense of urgency

    this sense of frustrating inadequacy

    this sense that my words will forever

        evade my pen



And so begins my quest,

    the quest to find my tongue...
