Words

They will survive
without articulation
flat and printed
the words
needing no voice…

and really what
is best transported
can be a look
and a touch sufficient—

I believe the world
far too vocal,
and its heart
far too silent a passenger
from dictionary to dictionary…

    That can be…but at the first and ultimate possition…..we exhale communication and in that we emitters of voice and words. A great goal…a great challenge, a moving of muscles and air in creation of sounds, at first symbolic, then priceless….a neew reality emerging…words are the Creation….the “giving name to things”, we can invent new languages, but the movement is the same thing…Soul-Mind. (Love your philosophical outburst, JOE)

  • For sure, I agree; words spoken with spirit are the beginning of physical manifestation—words outside the mind having been infused with the heart and soul.
