Poem Commentary

The movement of humanity is in all of us.

The Three Keys

Thoughts become words
Words become actions
Without the full process
We question our passions

Things that we think
but do not say
Melt into space
and wither away

Yet things that are said
with no actions to follow
Lead those around you
to question your sorrow

This combination of Man's
Simplest skill
Has lead to a world
of creation and will

It is only these things
that move all that is human
It is only these things
That prove all that is proven

Alone they are weak
If it's happiness that you seek

A thought is not heard
The same way you can't see a word

Without the full process
Man's life become fractions
Thoughts become words
Words become action

this one hit right on the head, so beautifully put...".Things that we think but do not say Melt into space and wither away" A chance to say something nice is a waste of love.

Thank you, i do believe that the power of thought is so incomprehendable it is fun to try to comprehend.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
