Why...




Why do words just fall short?
Why is expression so inadequate?
Why can’t thoughts be framed
Why can’t feelings be expressed
Why can’t experiences be verbalized
Why do explanations seem simplistic
Can’t capture the essence or what's beyond
Why is it difficult to define?
What we say is never enough
Or meaningless exaggeration
Why are we always groping

People nod knowingly
Form half baked opinions
Jump to hasty conclusions
Don’t listen in entirety
Don't care to read expressions
Nor can fathom silences
Can't connect with the eyes
Or see what they say
The language of tears

Then when someone
Can anticipate your thought before you think
Complete your unfinished sentence
Read volumes from your expression
Connect to the core
Comprehend what seems inane
Just share through a glance or a smile
Or just an inscrutable gesture
Amidst a multitude or in solitude
Or enliven you with a touch
Set your spirit free
From inadequacy or inhibition of expression
You want that bliss to last forever

Does life give you enough scope to savor
Such unbridled connectivity?
