Mere Words

The cries of a mother in labor And those of her new-born babe The tears of a spouse, grieving other Transcending language, one after another

Reading through text and comments, I think things here are not so simple. It's a drama in the joy. Or joy in the drama. Pretty rare thing in such a short format. Leo Tolstoy needed a chapter. Perfectly transcended, Wolf.
