[Painted Fumbled Kissed Bitten Admired Words]A Poem by LeratoWords are not enough when you think about it words don't say much yet words are what be are defined with. How many people actually think words? Yet I get a feeling that no matter what I say Sometimes are not enough to accurately express my thoughts, feelings and visions I think now I can art in the form of painting A picture is worth a thousand words A picture tells more than words could Yet we'd rather speak It may be a sense of definity we derive from it The feeling that we are understood Does that not override our accurate expression as it may be? If you ask me at times: How are you? I respond - I don't know Could that really be the accurate answer? Could it be that maybe I don't know in words? This takes me back to a discussion I was involved in during the year Am I conforming to the idea that society expects me to speak Words? That awkward moment someone asks a question and you don't respond in words, in fact you remain silent and then they ask: What is wrong with you? Are you okay? Are we maybe complacent in using words? Yet my build up of events, experiences and associations of words, they don't mean to me what they do to you. How can it be that what I say to you is what you hear always if all we use are Words? There are many ways to speak but I think all you need to hear is - A silent ear - Wondering eye (don't get the wondering confused) - Gentle touch - A patient tongue - A curious nose AND WILLINGNESS TO LET SPEAK SO WHAT IS YOUR SENSE OF HEARING? © 2012 Lerato |
