The only thing in life is language
not love, not anything else
Not tears
not laughter
But those things may come after
It's words that matter
Because words come from deep within
because all our thoughts,
all our feelings,
are melted down inside our skin
and from our lips come words,
language,
not love
Not anything else
Thanks Isobel. I was reading a book about Richard Burton and hes quoted as saying 'the only thing in life is language' and thats what started me off. Actions are important of course but the root of our speech and what we say has always fascinated me.
And that's where I'd disagree, though I used to think like this.
It's our actions that really count - words can sound very pretty - but it's what we do that makes us who we are. I'd probably be lost without the words too though.
Lovely thoughtful poem though.
'Because words come from deep within
Because all our thoughts
All our feelings
Are melted down inside our skin'
