-loud

they say that words mean a myriad of things.
that they can say things no image can.

there are people who don't have that option,
who can't explain anything with words.
they're the ones who use pictures.

they use feelings to get their points across-
or portrayals of those feelings.

things like art,
music,
dance.

because there's always a hush,

the kind that booms away,
the kind that echoes in your heart,
the kind that no words can explain.

hush! for the silence that you despise so much
is another burst of emotion--
of feeling.

don't take that away, too.
