When words feel too clumsy

when words are not enough
to give our feelings form
music is the language
which many find gives calm

when words sound too clumsy
a look may be enough
a glance of compassion
may pull us from the Slough

when words don’t come easy
when music fails to charm
then come to me and tell me;
I’ll enclose you in my arms

gestures, touch and glances
are a language in themselves
words are not enough for us
We need  to see as well.
