Words’ Ship (3/3/19)

Posted on March 3, 2019March 1, 2019 by Millicent
Words’ Ship (3/3/19)

You have said so many times, “I have given up words. I prefer silence.”

Yet, you turn around words, so much so that you have turned into talk.

You sail with words’ ship on the sea of thought,

that sea which you have not renounced and which words’ ship never will.

Rubailar, Rubai #2, Page 454.
