Have You Seen my Words?

Excuse me, sir? 

Have you seen my words? 

When I reach for them they scatter 

And run away in great herds. 

Are you sure they didn't pass by? 

Where could they be? 

Could they hide in the sky?

Will they ever come back to me?

I can feel them like they're there,

But when I try to touch them, 

I cannot catch a hair! 

Not even a dress hem!

If you find my words, 

Please let me know. 

They fly away like birds,

But I don't want to let them go!
