One language

Over six thousand
languages
rolling off their tongues

Cultures, stories, movement
Each word a fact

Each sound
imprinted in stone

Each flicker of a hand
a symbol

Each expression a story in itself

Only one language
can everyone understand
the tricky twisty language
that is not spoken

It is the language of the mouth
but it is not spoken
It is the language of the lips
but not dared to be whispered
It is the language of a smile
