As Simple as That
How close do you want to be?
Words?
Would words be enough?
Is that all there is?
A cat and mouse game of tag, you’re it?
Or does it go deeper than that?
Can two say the things they’ve kept locked away
From others
To one another
And there only be words
And thoughts
And no more?
How can it only be that
If it comes from the heart?
The heart is a seeker
And its words silken cords
That bind one to another with strands so soft
You don’t know until bound.
Is that how close you want to be?
Speaking as lovers do?
Bound to my words and the thoughts they convey
And if I wrote these thoughts in words only for you
Words we shared
Only we two
If they’re the words of my heart
And you shared yours
Let me ask
What do our hearts know of the truth of our lives?
What do we know of the truth of our hearts?
Would words be enough?
Is that all there is?

NICELY EXPRESSED...A QUESTION FOR THE MIND AND HEART TO ASK SOMEONE WHO TOUCHES YOUR SOUL EVEN DEEPER THAN DEEP, FOR CLOSENESS OF THE MIND IS A HUMAN FORM OF CONTACT LIKE THE CLOSENESS OF THE HEART BOTH FEEL THE EMOTION OF THE CONNECTION BUT ONLY ONE CAN START THE CONVERSATION.

Some conversations are just worth having my friend, regardless of how it goes in the end.

It's good to know my words sometimes connect. And thank you for following where my words may ramble.

Dear AJ,
What a great question. Are words enough or does there need to be an action as well. Ex: listening, or a hug. Sometimes I think a hug is more effective than all the words available.
Lovely lovely lovely write. I’m going to reflect on this some more. Although one would never be able to prove this from my response I’m more of a listener than a talker 😉 H🌷

Words have a magic and danger all their own with the images they conjure and feelings they stir...but always a reward to know somebody is listening.
