I wonder would we understand
Each other if we didn’t have words
I mean would you comprehend me
Would I really be heard
Without intonations or
Cultural vernacular
Colloquial expressions
Not even coming at cha
Would we know what is meant
Without words being spent
To describe the high
When tides roll by
Like words
🌾

Without words, there is nothing but the extreme. Screams, cries and laughs, no middle.

But you can feel them though. Unspoken yet expressed.

I see your point too though. Those screams/cries/laughters would have to be interpreted and or translated appropriately by both sender and recipient.

Without words, how could we share such wonderful poetry that we write. The world would feel so empty and dark.

There are other forms of expressions. We’d find a way to get our message across for sure.

We could even then understand each other through facial expression, and emotions expressed through eyes.

When a friend of mine and I would often dialogue about ministry, he would often times share a quote by St. Francis of Assisi that says, “Preach the Gospel at all times. When necessary, use words.” This poem is very thought provoking on many levels! Thanks Dorothy!
