Word

Nature taught the spoken word, Humans converted it to script. Many forms now transcribed. Some cultures have words of their own; lagom, Swedish. Ya’arburnee, Arabic. Cafune, Brazillian, to write but a few. What word describes you? All words formed in one's mind, Silent until vocalised, unless, Spoken with the eyes, I love you!

this is really beautiful how you ended it with that sweet sentiment, Mick. VERY nice writing! Thanks so much for the Violette contest. Once i thought up some feminine rhymes, it was smooth sailing.

Thanks for the insights, Mick. I like the way you ended with the language of the eyes. Never really thought how the spoken word came about; but I'd say God taught Adam and Eve in the Garden. Adam named the animals, the Holy Scriptures tell us. And languages were confused at the Tower of Babel in order that mankind was kept in its place as creature instead of Creator. You were my muse today, Mick, thanks.
