In a world without words, silence prevails,
No whispers of longing, no secrets unveiled.
Emotions take flight, unscripted, untamed,
Each heart beat a story, unnamed and unnamed.
Expressions as echoes, soft gestures as sound,
In gazes and glances, lost voices are found.
Our hands speak in volumes, our smiles unfold,
In a tapestry woven from moments untold.
Without lines to divide us, no borders to claim,
No letters to scatter, no spoken blame.
We listen in silence to the rhythm of soul,
Where language can’t bind us, we’re quietly whole.
Each glance is a chapter, each sigh a refrain,
A language of longing, of joy, and of pain.
For in this quiet world, our essence is clear—
We’re more than our voices, the silence sincere.
In the hush of existence, we truly see,
A boundless communion, just you and me.
So let’s dream of a world where words dissolve,
Where hearts become voices, and silence absolves.
This piece captures the essence of a world devoid of verbal communication yet rich with unspoken connections. The absence of words opens up space for a more profound understanding, an idea that celebrates shared, silent humanity.
