the thought behind the word

 

I clear away my words

   all the things I have said and written  
redefine concepts and feelings uttered on the pages I wrote upon  
I will always look back and tweak my words here and there 
add to and subtract  
always seeing the subtleties and nuances I didnt think to write then  
a training in precise wording 
to convey exactly what I mean to say 
and describe exactly the concept and feeling I hold in my mind 
  but do words and feelings 
sentences and complex concepts 
adjectives and great thoughts

 can they really do justice to eachother?
