Speech Less

There's never quite enough for me to say
Because when words are so inadequate
What can be said? It's not quite that I stray
Into the places that words can acquit
But never do, where if you could just find
The right ones, then you could express so much.
Rather, I'm in the corners of my mind
Where words are meaningless, and cannot touch
The deeper presence lurking there, which means
That there is nothing left to say. What could
Be said, when words are gone? For speaking leans
On words, and when they're gone, what would
An empty speech accomplish? Love is far
Beyond my words' most high accomplished bar.
