Useless Words

by John Harder

I am whispering
Are you listening?

To me it's not a set of useless words

You sing gracefully
Your eyes are glistening

It's clearly not a set of useless words

My mind is racing
My thoughts escape me

Perhaps it was a set of useless words

Worlds divide us
Will love unite us?

or is this just a set of useless words?

You are beautiful
I will love you

To me it's not a set of useless words

I enjoyed the dialogue here, the whispering that caught my attention from the get-go, and I found myself playing with the word "useless", saying it and using it in different ways. Thanks for this.
