Trying to parse your meaning

Like scrying in a bowl

Eyes out of focus

Can’t find a thing to hold

Just the vaguest impression

An image of a crow

But the feeling sinking

Swimming I fold

Words surface in the ocean

Mantra catch my ear

The exact meaning unclear

Just a feeling an emotion

Just the subtle notion

Of a story you once told

To get too literal

Misses the point

Zoom out impractical

Words all out of joint

What a pleasant sound

The words can make

When the meaning isn’t found

What a pleasant sound

The music can take

When you are being so profound.
