The writer's work, the daily work of working on words, polishing them, so that they can express feelings, @johnjgeddes. The mind is that space in which there are voids, obstacles, walls. Every corner has the name of the loved one and from where the lyrical voice is heard, it is an echo that expands beyond the page. There are several ways of expressing feelings, but there is always one that is mysteriously chosen over the others. These are bare words that feelings wear! Nice Saturday!
The lover's voice can be the whisper of a name or the icy tinkle of laughter down a hall. You're right, my friend, these are the bare words that feelings wear. Very lyrical :)
