The Unspoken Word

Vernon F. McCarty

Words formed,
Yet never spoken,
Compressed and anchored,
Deep within the soul.

Inexpressible words
Driven by the Spirit,
Filling the senses,
Making one whole.

Pressing downward,
Forcing upward,
Driving inward,
Exploding forth.

Slowly Forming,
Ever Flowing,
Gently Falling,
Puddles of Joy.
