Searching For The Word

Searching For The Word

Airborne metaphors twisting and turning

Tantalizingly out of reach

Misty visions came and went

Never forming thought or word

What was I reaching for?

Where is the word?

A multitude of similes

Pairing, parting, never staying

Notions stayed in motion

Gone forever

Before I could nail them

Where is the word?

Compound, complex, mono-clauses

Suffix, prefix

Adverb, proverb, naming noun

There must be trillions

Some yet unborn

But can I find one?

So I come to an end with a ‘.’
