Word games

Words are such crude tools.
Pretending to know things.
By name, definition, explanation..
What would the world look like?

If we had no words,
I think that’s how it used to be.
Sounds, gestures, cries.
Intonation, the movements.

We would use our whole bodies.
Words can only hope to convey.
The feelings that want expression.
But with the body, the feeling is there.

The recipient receives with their whole body.
Using all the senses, seeing hearing feeling
So I fantasize,
perhaps not all the time,
But between you and me we could try.

Can you imagine?
With your whole body?
A moment of Bliss,
Mystical musings of forest dwellers,
Fish in the open ocean,
Magic rainbows after a downpour,
An elephant in the African sunset..

Can you imagine?
With your whole body?
Telling your child how much you love them?
Can you imagine praying? Making love?
With your whole body?

I have no words, just a feeling, just a fantasy.
We have to try.
