Your Weight in Told

I sometimes wonder
if a voice is better than mere words
or if tone tells more or sometimes less.

And the worth...
Is it there at all?

Tone says it all. So much can be missed or inaccurately inferred through the written word. Emails are notorious for that scenario!

'mere words' ??
Without the words ... there would be no need for the 'tone'~

Ah, girlie ... you make me think~

And YOU have wealth untold ... in your worded-unfold~

Such a good write.  So few words, but such deep thoughts.  Great write.
What is that answer?  Maybe it’s in the expectation?

Nakdthoughts:

Yeah, you got me on that one, but the whole idea behind expectations is the surprise.

Kinda like the cracker-jack surprise?  
Or as once espoused in a movie:
“Life is like a box of chocolates.”

But no expectations is like throwing away the box before you open it…
No?  

Anyway, I always enjoy reading your poetry.  A bit mysterious, a bit up-lifting, and always a surprise.
