Lost Words

Lost are the words

Strung like pearls

On strands of thought

Thrown into the silence of an ashtray

Where men work on wooden benches

Sewing together material

Torn from days 

Long past.

Letters rise from deep

Shaded valleys

Disappear into vapor

To form feathery  Clouds

Above a grassy hill.

There they take shape

Form recognitions

Visions of sensations

We never knew

We felt
