SPEAKING IN TONGUES
Silence has its own voice
whispers behind rhyme and verse
a truth deeper still
beyond what words convey.
the mind cannot understand
what it cannot measure
the heart cannot reason
the tragedy of its ending.
the soul is afraid to speak
yet must share and tell another
in silent voice
its hopes and fears.

the heart is far to reason? maybe it is just me but I don't understand this line
Other than that your words ring so true
I love the first stanza

Beautifully put
Beautifully put
like a silent whisper on the wind,
the breeze words make
as they leave the lips,
like sharp gusts
and still wandering mists
as in all communication
we are not divided
but matter joins us all.

The silence speaks, all of the above heard your silent voice as I do. We have many walks to do before your turn off arrives, and maybe some of us will have to leave before you, Yours Ian.T
"maybe some of us..."
"maybe some of us..."
I've known that for a whie, Ian. I read very closely. And if I am right, it makes me very sad.
