The Muted Word

An expression is a written word that forms a part of the language that exists on paper, inscribed in ink. It can be calligraphed and worded to please the eye. Whether it has an existence in the soul, is not prime. It is a vision that eyes can see and a sound that ears can hear. The written word has an optical effect and is thus a spectacle to behold. It is an inscription that can be erased and rewritten, and this is what we call language.

Yet, there is an unwritten that fails to be expressed, that fails to be inscribed in the cognizable world of pen and paper. It is an intangible embodiment of the unspoken that dwells beyond its mortal existence. It is the voice that connects those who remain separated in time and space, utter a different word, yet speak a common language that unites them in what is called the language of the soul. They share a fundamental truth that seeks a depiction not in substance but presence, in a world that can be felt though not seen. This unwritten word 'speaks' a language that cannot be voiced, but is inscribed in the spirit of eternity. Sadly there are a few who can hear this language.....
