Do Not Read My Words

Do not bother to read my words -


Unless you have felt them before.


They, otherwise,


Are only ink


Trying to think.


 


If you have heard them


Rattling, tinkling, weeping


Or singing in sudden breezes -


Splashes, curves, ravines,


Arches, swirls,


Angles, rays


And beams


As in cathedral glass,


They are merely reiteration


Of all those fleeting gasps of your heart;


Ecstasy that died -


Grief resented -


Wonder that quit -


Tears unshed -


Hopes never granted


Fears never faced


An itch unscratched.


Written By Addie W. Williams

I like this too a lot! Poetry is about expression, this is so well-expressed. Your mother was very talented.

She takes a sentiment that has a familiar echo to it & turns it into so much more than just the same old rubber-stamp of common poetic musing, showing thumb-print talent & raw/honest emotion! So much better than the old Helen Steiner Rice type of hearts & flowers verse that many of us came to expect from Addie's generation... Bravo!
