Too Many Words
by Tim Kavi
there are too many words
in space
and not enough meaning
even if I dreamed them
every night
I cannot find them
for I cannot find you
my love
my delight
it has become dark night
coldness is wrapped
around my soul
like a blanket
and it won't let me go
my fears threaten
to consume me
but this is only my mind
when all around me
is the dying of light
the coming of night
is when shadows become immersed
in the dark
lonely songs I cannot bear
I awake
to face the coldest morning
snow has fallen
everywhere
fluttering eyes
open, I am
to wonder, rub eyes
to stare
see you there
I see all is beauty
in the woman
standing there
and the words
that had slowed like Winter
flowed in the promise
that if I kept speaking
kept writing
Spring will come there
in the hearts
of two
the glories of rebirth
as all the words
of love flow
while outside the snow
falls anew.
