I am searching for wordless words

Words that defy boundaries; capturing the expression underneath the form
Ones that hesitate between each other, alluding to deeper meaning
tugging in between the lines to lead me elsewhere

to that sacred place where they banish themselves
fathomless unencumbered space
beyond empty clutter and noise
beyond the stifling embrace of
letters strung together like
crack
sending me on another illusory
high

I am detoxing for silence
gasping for the enduring beat
pulsating just underneath the surface
caressing the breath just before
“Be” is pronounced
and the unfolding begins

like a crazed pilgrim in a never
ending cycle of tawaf
I am trapped in the noises
of my utterances

Circling the same footpaths
rehashing well trodden rhetoric
hoping to uncover some
meaning

What’s worth hearing
has been said
a thousand times over
where are the listeners?

I am seeking to plunge
my soul into a wordless
interval

unlearning the need to express
hoping to sip from the golden
fount of wisdom
souls much greater than I
have quenched their thirst from

O Source of Freedom
disenchant my soul
from the mesmerizing
diversion
of her own sounds
Unfurl her wings
that she may soar above
the din of barren
discourse.
