by Jon Rinka ( flourished 1983 )

Language: English 
We spoke of things too deep for words
               and worlds sped by.

Songs from the spheres sang on 
               while peacocks preened 
                              and lions danced.

Silence and Sound met at last
               and fell in love 
                              and in due time

Human speech was born 
               too deep for words.
