Do you focus on the letters Or the words they form— The letters of the law Or it’s intent? It’s the thoughts behind the words The lingering questions behind the melody That truly tell the story. But we all focus on the words Instead of their thoughts And the melody Rather than what lingers. The sweetness, Not the aftertaste. Is that why we miss What means the most?

letters, thoughts, and a melody
Do you focus on the letters Or the words they form— The letters of the law Or it’s intent? It’s the thoughts behind the words The lingering questions behind the melody That truly tell the story. But we all focus on the words Instead of their thoughts And the melody Rather than what lingers. The sweetness, Not the aftertaste. Is that why we miss What means the most?
I’ve been gone on many different levels, but now I’m back.
