Meanings And Definitions: Poem



Meanings And Definitons

I hear the world tapping at my window pane
Like urgent rain
Unwordly wordlessness. Bereft, undone
Empty, a shell the mind has become

Warm embrace, the touch of hands
Don't turn away thus;
Insipid wordlessness. Come back now
The sky speaks to the lake below.

Textual definitions are all very fine. Where do emotions hide?
Deep, deep inside.
How can you lock your feelings inside?
The body calls out your name and then tries to hide.
