     only words    

I have only words
to paint a rainbow

I have only words
to hold a sunset

I have only words
to catch the dawn

I have only words
to laud your virtues

I have only words
to sing of love

I have only words
to dream forever

for I have only words
to touch your heart

This reminds me of an old BeeGees song I love... *S*

We use what we are given... you've used them well! *S*

secondhanddreampoet - If you look in a poet’s treasure chest, you’ll find words like rare gems, Spanish doubloons and trinkets of gold. They come from our heart where they are minted with morality and our head where they’re stamped with logic and our breast where they’re polished with hope. They may be 'only words' but look what poets do with them and your piece says it all. Much enjoyed. Namyh

Precious are your words, dear Bruce. These words have been found in the treasure box of your heart!

Words are pure energy and when it is energy of love, it is the highest kind of energy. Eternally renewable!

Love,
Margherita
