What a lovely poem, and very relatable. One thing I always look for when i'm reading poetry is how/whether it manages to stick the landing with something insightful, resonant, or surprising at the very end and the "words beginning to fail" and writing a poem about it anyway creates this wonderful contrast. I can tell you do this because you love it! And it's such a joy to read!
