Explaining

Driving down a long and curvy road
staring between the trees
and the sky
and the yellow lines
the power of this music
and the beauty of simplicity
overwhelms me
And sometimes I wish my eyes
could capture these moments
and share them with the world
so that it could feel this same
peace
But I only have these words
which never seem to do justice
to the serenity
or elation
or fear
or pain
of which they speak
Still, I try to paint a picture
from images
to thoughts
to emotions
in words
and hope they’ll begin
to understand.
