Can I describe with words,
what has no features?
Can I describe with music,
what has no sound?
Can I describe with colour,
what cannot be seen?
Can I describe with action,
what does not move?
Can I describe with numbers,
what has no dimension?
Where all else fails
poetry begins to show
a world that few can mention.
But every one does know
this world which quietly
hides from our inattention.
It’s that which finds you
only when you’re willing
and all about is stilling.
Do you remember?
A lovely reminiscent feel to this David - and the title is evocative too. So wise is the message contained in so short a verse..... thank you for putting poetry where it deserves to be. from Fay..........p.s. You may like to read my 'Do You Remember' - so different and yet - - similar.....best wishes...
David, I found this an interesting read. thanks. jane s x
How fitting that a man of great expression speaks so well about 'words.' Bravo again David~~~~~~~~~~~love, marci
poetry is great because it can guide us into dimensions that we never thought exists. the brain needs those extra dimensioons to function at its optimal. you got it david.
