Words Are Not Enough Poem by David Taylor

Words Are Not Enough

Rating: 5.0


Words are not
Enough.
They make Treaties
Write Novels
Cover Newspapers
Make Signs
Advertise
Lie and Conceal
Reveal Truth
Make Distrust
Seal Fates
Invigorate Debates
Words Invent
They Speak Into
Existence
Feelings and
Dreamings
Think go on
Think.
Of something that
Has no word.
But words are
not enough
To speak of
Where they Come
From.
That's what
Poets Do?

Well written David. lots to ponder, things I never would've thougt of. I also think that there are time when words, like a smile, can heal....or perhaps I just wish they were used for such...I'm glad I found this, loquacious as I tend to be, marci, :)

David, this is an interesting piece. I'm glad I caught it before I log out for the night. Something to think about while I write another poem or two. Great write as always. Gave it 10, worth more though. Thanks for sharing it my friend. David
