I sense them trying to form.
the sudden, mad syllabic rush
as if each thought is
battling to be voiced in unison.
A thunderous blast of wordlessness
everything and nothing —
an aborted cacophony —
utterances never to be heard,
over a blur of muted tears.
Speaks for pervasive sadness.

There is sadness in trying to find the right words to let the inner voice be free.

tears act like plugs for the ears. sometimes better to let the body feel and visit the words later…

Agreed. Sometimes it’s scary to feel all that. That’s life though, eh?

Oh so many voices are silenced by the noise of others… may they be given the silence to be heard.

Clouds without rain don’t water. so well crafted, you have expressed an obscure sorrow, the feeling of being ready to let the ideas and the feelings flow, and then held back by some sort of circumspection.
