"Soon we must all choose between what is right and what is easy." - Dumbledore (Goblet of Fire)


How do you say with words,
What cannot be said?
How do you describe
That which is indescribable
How do you express something
If it is so alien that it leaves you
Speechless
Thoughtless
Blank
Words can only go so far
Sight can only show you what’s ahead
And if you look back,
What you have left behind
Though belief is different
Alien
It is limitless
Belief is something you are born with
Something all the living are born with
Belief is power
Belief is weakness
Belief is wider than the sea
And smaller than a grain of sand
Belief is everything
And nothing
Because with belief
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is too hard
Or too far
Too deep
Or too high
Too strong
Or too weak
And all things are within reach

Stuff like this makes me wish my poetry didn't all sound like children's nursery rhymes.

I would love to read your work! It would help if I could find it though - I looked on your profile and it wasn't there. If you know where it is, I'll check it out- Just write the location.... :D
