Earth shattering silence

There were no words to be said,

none could be found within my vast vocabulary.

none that quite seemed to fit. 

And words have always held an immense power

as if all the questions in the world were no match for their dizzying intellect.

All questions but apparently one.

Words have always been able to point north, 

to give direction,

purpose.

But now I am lost 

where no utterance can find me.

somewhere beyond the wide circumference they encompass

just beyond their reach.

No words could be said

And the Earth shattering silence transcended all possibility of understanding.

Because, nothing could be said.
