Language

With language

I express my thoughts

Form words in my mouth

Roll them around on my tongue

Taste them

Spit them out

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke

Words the puzzle pieces of language

Pen touches the paper

Moves loops and whirls

The dance of language

To make thoughts visible

For eyes to see

To read

To know what is on my mind

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke

My words make the lovely paper

Intelligent

Send thoughts sealed in a letter

Created with strict marks and curves

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke

Wind carries whispers like dust

Communicates thoughts of longing

Language of love

Language without teacher

Communicate to myself within Thee

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke

The mountain on the horizon

Lost in wind and dust

Flags in tatters eaten by the wind

I listen...

Tumbleweeds roll

Tossed by the wind

Lodge themselves into sheltered places

Whisper words of longing

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke

Words of warning on the wind

“Too Late”

Can you understand

The meaning of the language

Written with boney finger

Desert landscape

Global warming

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke

Language of trees

Wind moves the branches of trees

Lonely landscape dancers

Push roots deeper

In search of water

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke

Language of touch and sight

Without words

I place my hand in yours

You look into my eyes

I fall into yours

We listen to the wind

Carrier of whispers

Carrier of meaning

Universal Language

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke

Entry for Day #2

Learn

As a species

We never seem to learn

Our doom is predicted

We continue down the same path

The temperature rises

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke

We seem to have forgotten

How to understand the language

The words spoken

“Too Late”

Polar caps melt

We walk quickly down the street

Blow smoke
