Prose or poetry? When the words are begging to be written down, which format is better fit to express the abstract and not so easily labeled except to use a metaphor or multiple metaphors to make it a bit more tangible and graspable and palatable and relatable.
How to describe the experience of something greater than yourself appearing at your doorstep at the light of a lamp or the sound of a song. What words, metaphors, or similes can name the grandness and the mystery of the taste of the world beyond yours.
A bowing down to the great unknown in gratitude, disbelief, appreciation, and need, because the experience of it is bigger than any word in the dictionary can name, any style of writing can capture. All that is left to do is to keep this abstract experience as that, a personal experience filled with awe and wonder with a touch of unworthiness. How has this human been graced with such....
The need to disappear is strong. In its disappearance, a carefully planted seed can spread its roots and grow big, tall, and strong. The metaphor. I'll take it.
