Words alone are never enough.

So we trace wordless poems
along the silence of
a touch -

We read them first with our eyes...and then again
deeper with our souls.

Yet still the words lose meaning.

We grow sightless.

And need the brail of one another.

Giving rise to words...we may read with
our hands.

Only these words remain.

They are enough.

If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need...

There is great power in the written word. Words have the ability to ease a troubled mind and warm the coldest heart.

Take care......Sue

Only a really talented writer could use the right words to tell us words are never enough... and make them enough.
Extremely well written.

"touch...
is all it takes
to make us warm"

Those WORDS were written many years ago by someone I knew named Tim, and the TOUCH of those words has stayed with me through many troubled times.
I enjoyed the touch of this poem.

So true my friend. Sometimes the title of the poem inspires a message or vision, and that, in essence, is often enough.
