Do you know me?
I am liquid
spilling
through your fingers
even as you try
to hold me
hold me?

Can you see me?
Spilling
through your cupped hands
fingertips

strain to catch me
every
  last
    drop

Yet
there is no holding me
Place me in a box
(shadow or nether or brain)
and I
s
 e
  e
   p
through the cracks
bit
 by  bit

'till I'm all gone
and you've forgotten
  what you held

     Do you know me?

I am liquid,
  can you see me?
(whispered words, repeated)

Spilling
Dripping gently through your fingers
You cannot hold me
Stop me
Restrain me
I slide
  glide
    ride
right through
even the tightest fist
toughest fits

There is nothing to me
colorless odorless weightless
Voiceless
    I am silent.

I am courage as you've never known.

I am invisible
 silent
  exposed
   dry.

So I lost my mind now I'm ready to find my way/Back home/Today/To stay/
The way you wished I would/And I swear/To stay/The way you wished I would
Train,I Wish You Would

Try this!

This was very good. I especially liked the format you put your words into, it made it more real.

I think I've already shared my comments on this one away from the boards...they haven't changed. Beautiful words, mi hermana.
