Sometimes

Sometimes I do not know
what it is I want to say
Sometimes instead of flow
The words get in the way

The yes and no
The right and wrong
The should and could and would
The up and down
The crazy sounds
The evil and the good

Perspective lost in time
Translation ends up skewed
The language changes meaning
Depending how it’s viewed

Sometimes it isn’t worth
To say the words you find
When there is no understanding
Or calming of your mind

Sometimes what’s said in stillness
Is so much more profound
Than words could here express
Through syllables and sounds.
