Some feelings escape expression
a bone deep experience
often cannot be spoken
a twinge of added poignancy
holds you fast in the moment
Words can only come
after the moment has past
part of the perfection
lies only in the present
oh, fleeting, frenzied feeling
Even memory cannot contain
the depth of some moments
still you hold this flat snapshot
lovingly before you, inspiration
to guide you forever onward
You don't know if these tastes
of true living will return to you
or how far away they may be
but you breathe only hope
that they will, that they're near
Protect the Innocent
