The gap between experience and words-
Should any person be reduced to signs?
A hint, a sigh, a flight, a little bird
Who ought express in lines what has occurred ?
Does the bloodied heart weep words benign-
The gap between experience and words
A line distinct, a line that is too blurred
What impact can this have on a design?
Which hint, which sight, which flight, will kill the bird?
The sentence well constructed has its flair
Yet to the void much feeling is consigned
That gulf between experience and words
Who tore apart the meaning we hoped shared?
So now to nothingness we are resigned
No hint, no sigh, no flight, no little bird
With whose filters may we be refined?
Who shelters souls that others have declined?
The gap between experience and words-
A hint, a sigh, a flight, the shining bird
