Words in My Mouth

Communicating lately for me
Mostly originates
From words in my mouth

I also refer to this as
Surface Conversations
You know the type

Basic small talk
Ready reference answers
Business and scheduling

So much information
That is essential
To get passed to others

These are the words that reside
In my mouth ready for action
As necessary day and night

But what I long for
Are the conversations
That come from deeper places

Like words that come
Deep from within heart
Whispered from a pillow

Or creatively sparked
From a brain firing
On all cylinders

Conversations that have
No beginning or end
Because the words flow

Synthesizing and energizing
New ideas to discuss
Or debate over a bottle of wine

Even a text or email
Interaction can cause
Words to bubble up from deeper

Only talking from the
Words in my mouth
Makes me feel depressed, bored

Challenge me
Inspire me to generate
The words I want to set free

And I will listen and respond
And encourage you to
Use words other than from your mouth
