Sounds


What are the words we speak.

What do they mean. 

 

Songs and Poems.

Letters and Notes.

Only things we hear 

Words we read

 

The wait for the connection

The wait for understanding 

And yet in some case

we shall always wait

 

So what are the words 

What do they mean

 

Nothing 

They are sounds

like anything else in nature 

only sounds

 

sounds we bring meaning to

sounds we only hope to understand
