Inexpressible

Inexpressible

November 15, 2012

Thankful, grateful, indebted,
appreciative, gratified, pleased,
beholden.

For a mind to think,
For a heart to feel,
For soul to save

Appreciative, pleased, grateful,
indebted, beholden, thankful,
gratified.

For thoughts to ponder
For family to hold
For God to worship

Beholden, indebted, gratified,
pleased, grateful, appreciative,
thankful.

Too strong to be conveyed in words.

I have found that for me poetry comes in creative stages and spurts.  There are seasons when I write many poems, and then long seasons when I write none.  I wrote this piece for a poetry contest on Allpoetry.com after 56 months since the previous poem.  The title of the contest was "Thankful to be Alive!"  In my mind, a fitting return to this creative expression.
