YOUR INTIMATE VOICE

"I am alive because of your words, alive
because your spirit has cupped my heart
in a whispering only you and I can hear,
a secretive whispering full of breathtaking truth:"

from the poem: Your Intimate Voice

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.
