Wordless Words

Wordless were his words
Yet deeply they pierced
Strongly but softly
Yet fragile and tough
Just like nothing I had known
He tilled and tilled 
Until he built himself a throne

'Now who will crown me?'
He said
'No one will crown thee but me'
Came the voiceless voice
But the echoes lingered on 
Until the words were enthroned
And the throne made the words whole.
