It isn't that a verbal language is needed
between one body and the next that breathes

it isn't that one must speak to be heard
when others don't listen through their ears,

ideas can be expressed in a mire of
thoughtless words
or casual jests
latent thoughts may spill from deeper wells
followed by rivulets of tears
or a silent scream

you say, do I detect a cynical vein,
where has all the good cheer
and friendly chatter gone?

some become quieter as time progresses
an expression of wanting to say less
so that thoughts can live without phrases
where wordiness ebbs
to the tranquility of deep sleep.

Very true....I agree that this can be the case, but sometimes, the need of the individual is to just get it out.  Enjoyed. ....jo

hey, i'm at this stage! then, i wish for more assertiveness so that i can verbalise my thoughts out. i think it's a vicious cycle

I wonder though if we get to a point where we just run out of things to say

or maybe we've said them so much and it still doesn't do any good at all so we just don't waste our breath anymore

Verbal communication is not needed for those who communicate telepathically!

In other scenarios, if words fall on deaf ears, one does not feel the need to be wordy!

Interesting write! Your ink made me think!

Good to read your words! ~ Wish I could hear them!
