I couldn't have captured
in all its beauty
a thought this wonderful
with these imperfect words.

So I decide to set it free.

Another thought now captures me
that thoughts were ever free.
Through minds they wander,
Through poems they express.

And I say- 'let it be.'

May a better man some day pen
in all its beauty
that thought that wonderful
in words near-perfect.

It's good and well written but you can't escape like this. Keep writing, because there's no perfect way to express anyway so why give up your satisfaction of writing a thought out. Ok, it's more like dissatisfaction but whatever, keep writing!

Well said! Amazing how little words capture when we try to force them...and how much more they do when we 'let it be'.

And yes, its not just the positives that they don't capture well...
