exPRESSiON

The words often fall short when trying to describe the feeling. How can something as simple as marks of ink in specific sequence explain something as complex and free flowing as emotion or thought, a moment, an experience, a life, a man? How best to go about the business of translating time into words, I don't know... For me, I just sit and let the words come, though they often pale in comparison to the thoughts or emotions that I am feeling at the time; they are the best way I know to give to you what I have inside. As a medium of expression these words are not the best but they’re the one that I have grown most fond of over the years. Maybe if I would have kept playing the trumpet then I would have had a more creative way of exposing what’s within, maybe those notes are fit to display pain and joy, maybe the sound of the horn could put it all in perspective. But for now these words of mine will have to do. So very limited... A dictionary or better yet a thesaurus can’t truly contain what is needed to paint the picture of feelings and thoughts. These words leave much to be said and even more to be felt, what gets lost in translation is the essence of the message, the motivation for the thought. The intense fire that burns from the feeling and the rage that builds for lack of an outlet. No where for these things to go, so I put them on the page and hope that it serves to tell the story of a man in a place with feelings that cant be expressed with words...
