Stacey Brackley Poet Verse

I Can'T Read

You read me
But I don't read you

You hear unspoken words
A deafening silence consumes me

You speak dead languages 
I can't translate 

You read me and think you know
But I don't read you
 
You feel the words I preach
But I don't go to church 

You yearn for me to read
Like I will understand 

But I can't read

Beata Agustin June 5, 2025 at 3:34 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
