The power of words

is greater than any tidal wave at its highest peak ready to swallow,

or a volcano in full, fuming eruption,

or rocket ready to destroy the barrier that surrounds us all.

               

The power of words is different.

A word, phrase, or chapter,

can captivate, motivate, and invigorate

the coldest of souls

while simultaneously lift, shift, and gift

the brightest of minds.

Any lyric, book, novel, story, sequel, or play ever written

has the opportunity to create a movement,

a story so much larger than itself.

It may live longer than its creator.

 

The power that words have- it never dies.

               

I want to teach the power that words have

Commas and semicolons

Hemingway and Fitzgerald

Caesar and Hamlet

Poems and essays

Freedom and creativity

 

Some see it

Others don't

The power of words changed my life

When I become and English teacher

I can change yours.
