Words run

I can't find the words.
They seem to be missing.
They took a hike
Down that long road,
With so many forks in its path
Called your mind.
They've been running from me,
Always on the move.
I used all my strength to try to catch them,
But they are faster.
I just keep running,
In circles.
In circles..
In circles...
But there they are!
I see the words!
I've found my rhythm at last!
It's been here,
Right by my side,
This whole time,
I just haven't looked hard enough!

I feel the words come to us at different moments in time...they are triggered by events...dreams and people...but I liked how you capture the struggle in this verse...Sometimes you have to just stand still:

I just keep running,
In circles.
In circles..
In circles...

and catch them in your net...
