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

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.

Difficult to really know someone unless you really love them. But then, we don't care.
