Gravel Trails

I wish I could repeat
what I just heard.
Not a word, but
a meaningful glance.

I wish I could dance
into your mind, only to
settle in and find
a melody and chords
to sing to.

I wish I could show
you what I see in each day.
To be terribly lost
in strange daydreams.

I wish I could explain
exactly why
anything is at all.
I can only walk
gravel trails.
