THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD
Perhaps the “I”
Is the most important word
In the English language
How else can I tell you
What I see, think and feel
I ask you to come for tea
I ask you to listen
I ask you to look with me
I ask you to see
I ask you to reach inside my chest
Feel my heart beat
Touch my tears
Experience my loneliness and my longing
Come into my house
Which has many rooms
You are a special guest
We will wander together

Ah, this is a lovely invitation.......to see, hear, touch your tears, assauge loneliness. Beautiful, Annell.
I particularly like the last stanza, the turn. Lovely work.
excellent.
I enjoyed this poem so much, I think we all have times when we need someone to share our needs with,,
...As "I" shall accept. : )
written on the Sounds of an "I the butterfly" coming out of a cocoon.
or just plain written very well, and on purpose : )

Communication would not have advanced much beyond the caveman level, I think, without that tiny little word. I shutter to thing, the world would be in even worse shape, if people did not have the ability to share their dreams and desires. A thought provoking piece.
Annell,
I, too, love the turn of the last stanza. Pretty poem.
I haven't written with you in ages. I hope all finds you well.
Love,
Pamela
a strong argument for "I", eh?
nicely done! :)
How incredibly poignant the poem becomes by the concluding verse.
