The sound of Words

and our daily need

December 31, 2025
The sound of Words

The sound of words,
is what we care for,
it is what we need,
What is like bread and butter,
our daily need.

The sound of words,
and all the words around,
it is the words,
the sound,
the mouths that speak its magic,
that is all we need,
all we have,
and all we want to say.

Enough to live,
enough to breathe,
and enough to hold close to our heart.
