speaking in tongues

Post by panta rhei »

it is language
that colours our words
and our words that
colour our perception

we say
i love you
and thus give love a meaning

we respond to it
in the language we know

we talk

we bespeak

we articulate

we understand
what we perceive

we perceive what we
understand

we speak in tongues

while our tongues long
to orbit
each other

A delectable treat, for sure panta rhei!

little mischievous darling!

orbit of sentient beings
so close, so deliciously near
longing for touchdown
