seed within the words

 at times there is a seed

within the words

a core of the meaning

i am trying to reach

‘though what is on paper

does not say it as yet

sometimes i can find it

and re-work the order

of the words, or change one

or a dozen to get closer

other times i need hours

or days of letting the words

mewl in my mind until they

sort themselves into truth

or at least as close to it

as i am capable of coming

for the time being

willing to believe

we are so willing to believe

that what we experience

is truth

yet even our experience of color

is limited by the wavelengths

we can absorb, knowing that,

in reality, there are many more

at each end of the spectrum

why then do we limit God

only to what we are
