------Indescribeable------

Describe to me 
if you possibly can
the wetness 
of warm falling rain

or if you could, 
I wish that you would
paint a picture 
of anguish and pain

I want to know 
in every aspect
the emotions 
of being in love

or the feeling one gets 
watching evening sunsets  
or a full moon 
rise up above

surely these things 
can't really  exist
just  creations of myth
and of mind 

as is hope and trust
and the strength of one's faith
to overcome hardships
we find

such things can't be purchased, 
bartered or sold
you can't touch
or prove they are real

descriptions elude
the word or the brush
yet  we all know
these emotions we feel

They exist in our heart
our mind and our soul
We know of their strength
and their power

without them inside
nothing else could provide
the great joy 
just admiring a flower.
