Words
Lao Tsu writes
I write
John writes
Clemens writes
Words words words
too many words
A walk in the woods
talk about town
Words not spoken
Words said too often
Words no one knows
for things words can't describe
Words ten times ten thousand
just scribbles children and poets
scratch on the schoolyard wall
No words for feelings
we feel every day
No words ever as deep
as lovers at play
Bits and pieces---
parts of the whole
Words are many
a feeling is but One
Don't define
Don’t describe
---Live!
and talk of small things
of cats and kittens
of chicken soup and power bills
talk of war and weather
bad drivers and bulldozers
Of death but wonder
Of this life in our veins
of love and Tao
but embrace and enjoy
