Trying

I am trying, I am trying, trying not to let words just shake me off They would slip and be gone just like minnows Just a silvery flash in the shadows And I would be blank like an unlit street sign On the bank just waiting on my line Words would go and then I'd be sitting right here on your floor Loving everything I see and no way to tell you what to look for Then I'd forget or have I already forgotten? All that I love as all the strings that pull me start to tauten I am trying for what I cannot place I am trying for some kind of grace
