The search is as old as time itself
To define the indefinable
Diving deep into the waters of emotion
But only finding the shallows
We struggle to comprehend feelings
But endeavor to explain them
Recycling words and thoughts
In new ways with the same meanings
The void seeks to only experience
Only to feel, touch, see and absorb
No explaining, no reaching, no recycling
- For to feel something and recognize it as indefinable
Is a higher calling than explaining something you can’t feel.

Trystan,
In our lifetime, we all experience and wish to fill that void! The ending of your poem says it best...
“For to feel something and recognize it as undefinable
Is a higher calling than explaining something you can’t feel.”
An excellent and perceptive write! Thank you for sharing!

Those feelings come to us many times we need to stop and recognise them as most of them are wonderful.
