Speaking...

We speak to remember and forget so much

We speak in anger to seek comfort, that's such

We speak of solitude to find a pair

We speak in envy to know someone cares

You're far away now, how distant the distance

We speak words of longing, in our persistence

But why do I persist in my naivety

Unable to conceal the innocence of history

A few lines of heart's desires and fleeting dreams

Sending wishes and memories along the streams

Today, I choose silence over words

Let indifference and fleeting moments fly with the birds

Yet speaking remains the solace of our souls

In the stories we tell, in the tales that console

For in words, we find understanding and connection

In the vast sea of speech, there's endless affection
