My Words

I am trying to paint
a picture with my words
to describe a feeling that
has left my heart stirred.

They all come out at once
for me to rearrange,
to put them in the right order
so as not to look strange.

Feelings and emotions
flood onto my sheet
as discarded versions
lie crumpled at my feet.

Suddenly all the pieces
will fall into place,
leaving me with
a picture to embrace.
