Does true feeling need to be worded,
Laid out in lines, black on white.
Can the soul speak language girded
By phrases, exact, and in writing.
Love is broader by far and deeper
Than thought, wider than any sea.
The spirit of freedom longs to speak
Of unseen bonds between him and me.
But finds no words which can express
The yearning hunger of the heart.
If language were able to address
This need, we would never be apart.
When love is felt and is not fettered
With weakened words,
......................love speaks the better.
As you so often do in your wonderful poetry, Fay, you have expressed such a marvellous observation on life and love in this very appealing poem. It is indeed quite true that love causes such intense and deeply felt emotions that are far beyond words. Your poem made me recall a scene I once saw of an elderly couple sitting on a park bench. That sat side by side, holdings hands, and not a word was spoken. They held hands and from the smiles and looks on their faces, I could tell they were deeply in love with each other, so much so that words had become superfluous. Thank you for this beautiful poem, Fay. Carl.
Fay, very reflective feeling on how love is felt. Beautiful. Top marks and thanks for sharing it with us my friend. Hugs David
