What Words
What words, dear God?
For an idiom
Or an idea
Of all that this means!
If not then, or when
My soul resounds
At a silent thought
Lights an eternal flame
Recalled at sacred hearths;
Within quiet chambers
Wounds would heal
Once dealt unwittingly
Now in privacy, thoughts
Wrench relentlessly
At souls adrift
Through time and space;
Words cut at passions denied
Allow this one impression
To swathe us
Dear God, what words?
