Words, those blatant and shallow sounds;
We attribute a lot to them, yet wallow;
In the immense distance that they present;
Between the concept and the experience;
To be sure about what a word is;
It is not enough to know what it means;
As knowing its meaning is but a glimpse;
Of what actually has to be explored and felt;
There are times when the words point;
In the direction of what they actually embody;
But, to reach the embodiment of a syllable;
It is necessary to acknowledge the destination;
Most of the times we find ourselves,
Worshiping the word itself and once in a while;
Experience shows us how far we were from the real;
For which “divine” is just a signpost.
