Just...Wow

Just...wow:

I think the definition I'm looking for here is interjection, meaning an exclamation that occurs in spontaneous fashion and doesn't pertain to an object in regard to a name or actual description. These are words that are invoked from within through a sudden burst of awe, or perhaps an intense moment of fear, anything that might overwhelm us to the point of returning to our natural states of astonishment or wonder. Really, these seem less than words and more of a frequency, a vibrational expression that somehow matches what's being experienced within the actual moment. 

my favorite is wow.

a natural expression of astonishment, curiosity, and wonder.

it just comes to the lips unbidden,

summing up my heart and mind. 

spontaneously.

it's said that the word is of Scottish origin, dating back to the 1500's, probably further, and perhaps all the way back to the first exclamations of our species. Wow is natural astonishment, with the actual origin being of the soul. It's a heart felt exclamation, and probably defies borders and language. If our vocabulary was suddenly wiped out in a moment - the interjection wow would survive and resurface in our first witness of a sunrise, or flower, any site that invokes the need to verbalize our astonishment. 

it's not a word at all, not really,

but an invocation of soul called to surface.

escaping from our lips in a rush of emotions...

just...wow.

with nothing else to possibly say.

and nothing more needed.
