Ways
by Jennifer Mavro
Sometimes we cannot say what we mean
Simply by speaking or writing.
There are other ways than words.
A gentle brush stroke whispers.
Not so shy? Bright colors shout excitement!
Pound clay to express yourself.
The clay is willing
To follow your every whim.
It is as generous as the wood
That allows you to break it
For the sake
Of saying what you mean
Through sculpture.
So I can give or take the pen
Since words do have their limits.
Yet, how else could I tell you this?
I need this way
To say what I mean.
And I'm glad to have this choice
And countless others that can match the moment
And convey my mood and message.
