Devoid of words
Nothing to say
Nothing to see
Just pass on by,
A wordless beggar on the street,
An empty-headed poet
Caught in the stream of life,
but unable to describe
what their feelings are,
and what they really mean.
so are they really a poet?
If they can't speak?
If there are no words in the soul,
no spark in the eye?
What are you,
if you are wordless?
If you have no life,
no push behind your actions,
is your heart beating falsely?
Or were you never alive to begin with.

Devoid of words

Caught in the stream of life,
but unable to describe

so are they really a poet?
If they can't speak?
If there are no words in the soul,
no spark in the eye?
What are you,
if you are wordless?
If you have no life,
no push behind your actions,
is your heart beating falsely?
Or were you never alive to begin with.
