Words

Far more words than open ears -- a world of chatter; words everywhere -- difficult to avoid such precipitous splatter… poets use them, vociferously! Politicians use them, surreptitiously! Ministers use them rapturously Words live when they are infused with passion; strengthened by conviction -- my cat says it all with a well aimed look twitch of her tail occasional meow and luxurious purr

There needn't be words uttered always to express an emotion or a feeling ! Your cat communicates so effectively with an intented look, the twitch of its tail, occasional meow and a luxurios purr ! Dear Joe, I greatly enjoyed your poem

Thank you, Valsa -- sometimes we make too much of language. My wife and I are both artists (myself, gravitating more toward writing). She has her side of the house and I have mine. We talk in the mourning and evening, but during the day we only meet on occasion at the refrigerator. A loving look between nibbles says it all.

Yes indeed! A cat does it effectively without words. I hear your message, Joe: Words live when they are infused with passion; strengthened by conviction...

Thank you, Vijay. We are living more and more in a world of exterior appearance, forgetting that honest, human passion, selfless when in comes to image (that's what honesty is), is nearer to spirit seeking divine purpose and fulfillment. In my mind anyway. Blessings my friend.

Hello Joe Di Mino, My cat speaks to me all the time. I swear she calls me mama. She chirps sometimes. She does this every day. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darene\
