Erlebnisse

It’s April of 2022 and Day 05 of the A to Z challenge. This year, I am doing the theme – “Wordy Wonders.” I am selecting words that have deeper and graceful meanings, from across the globe and an eight-line poem along.

Day 05 – Erlebnisse  

Origin: German

Meaning: The most deeply felt and truly lived experiences, positive or negative

Poem

Here I sit
Wanting to write,
My Erlebnisse.
Something tells me,
They better be,
Unsaid.
They are always better,
Within.

A truly lived experience needs more than words. They probably need more than everything we could gather.
