A beautiful poem. I like the idea of speaking without words. My favorite line is the first one: "My words break as a butterfly perches on my hand."

i really like this! great imagery, beautiful scene you created :)

Beautiful imagery. Write on! The formating was a little different. Breaks seemed to be random. Are you emulating someone I'm not aware of, or does each break represent a new thought? Free verse is very loose; so there's nothing wrong with your breaks. Yet, I'm curious to know your motivation?
