Speechless

Languages, words -

with such an abundance of both,

who can be heard ?



I'd rather be mute

and then my dancing hands

would conduct a concerto

of literal language.



I'd rather be blind

and then communication

would be a tactile reverie

beyond deception.



I'd rather be deaf

and then silence

would reverberate with THE SUBLIME WORD

that created speech



and I would recall what a miracle

is the inadequate,

but enthralling

vocabulary of being.



Languages, words -

best served

when our souls are speaking !
