I Speak

I speak yarn,
 and the twiddling of fingers wrapped in strands of color
I speak cat
 hands caressing a purring head
I speak computer
 tapping of keys to find my goal
I speak oldest child
 getting away with nothing and blamed for everything
I speak poems
 flowing of words onto the page
I speak loyalty
 sticking to those I have given my trust
I speak playfulness
 Whats life without a little smile?
I speak curiosity
 eyes open to a waiting world
I speak nail
 The polish and designs of endless combines
I speak woods
 silent trees, stand strong in their wake.
I speak weird
 Spontaneous enjoyment is my way
I speak me
 And that's all there is to say.
