No Language But a Cry

<br><br><center>The ancients carved messages
And pictures in rock—

<br>We do the same
But in the ether.

Nothing’ s changed really
But the times,

Our hearts are the same
Although compared to me
 Yours is more refined.

<br>But we’d do fine
Back in the past—
You and I,

Our gestures
More mimicry
Than communication,

Still, we’d get by 
Among the ancients…

<br>I’d be a man of stone
But your frowns
Would still scar me

And all the sobs 
That broke from me

Would still not unfold
Your mystery.</center>
