WORDS
Winds which carry
My feelings
To my beloved ones
They made me what I am
And they helped me
In becoming
What I was destined to be.
When I wanted to tell someone
I was feeling so much
About her
They carried my messages
I love you to her
And when rejected
They whispered to me
On with the march
There are resounding vacuums
When a train passes
Over a bridge
Words become a roar
Without saying anything
They turn silences
Which cry loud.
How I love and how I wish
To bring back
The moments when words
Described me as a hero
And also when moments of loss
Were turned
Into tears and flowed away
When I fell in love with life
When I married
When I suffered and joyed
And now when I depart
Thanks O words!
For imparting a face
To this tempting cyclic race.
