Loss For Words (Lyrics by H.C. Holbert)
Howard Holbert sent me his poem “Loss For Words” and asked me to make a song out of it. This is what I came up with.
Here is Howard’s poem:
I find myself
at a loss for words
as a poet, isn’t that absurd?
I find myself
at a loss for words
but
it’s ok
there aren’t the words
anyway
the words
are in the life we live
the poetry is in
what we have to give
when I find myself
at a loss for words
all I have to do
is be honest
look deep
and the words are there
there, under the rocks of moments of time in my life
there, under the waterfall of tears
there, under all the hopes and dreams
there, within the laughter
and
what I have to give
is my life,the poetry of my spirit
that comes from the heart of love
when I find myself
am at a loss for words
