can we speak plain
cos i have forgotten
how to speak
and the words lost
all meaning in
the fog of dream
anyway
we needs must find
them again
we sought meaning
in rootsoil and mycelium
turned over understone
beseeched the sky
(i think you know why)
and whispered to crows
for their insight
and as for our meddle?
we still sit speechless
about all the things
under the oak tree
under the wings
come, kiss me
to spoken, my dear,
under a turquoise sky

A page from my book. It’s like… let’s drop the pretenses, get back to basics.
Yep. I’m a terrible mind reader. Not one of my many varied and illustrious skills. 🙂
Exactly!!
I think sometimes the fear of being misunderstood gets in the way of honesty and clarity. Yes, we need to find a way through.
Great words.
For all my words, I am often misunderstood — even when attempting to speak plainly. 🙂
Write a lot, speak somewhat less…doesn’t make much difference really, like yourself, often misinterpreted.
Agreed.
Lovely. How important to find the right words. And how troublesome when lack them. I’m always a little nervous I’m using the wrong words at times.
I’m pretty certain that I should learn to keep my mouth shut most days. Foot in mouth disease, you know…
Haha. I know that feeling.
Perpetual disorder for me.
