Words are My Favorite
Words are my favorite
They flutter on the pages
Of crisp papers
Handcrafted letters
And dusty books
Dancing upon a tree’s corpse
They appear so miniscule
But they disbelieve the rumors
That books are outdated
And words tell lies
But words are much more
Much more than pen meets paper
They are so very loud
They break and they mend
They embark and they dissolve
Words run through the air
Escaping the pit of your stomach
Escaping the havoc of your heart
Escaping the chaos of your mind
They escape to embark
Words travel many places
To a friend, to a foe
They say many things
In many forms
They are all and know all
A Spanish man can use them
As can an American girl
A blind boy can speak them
As can a deaf girl sign them
Everyone can use words
How they are used is different
They can tell tall tales
Loud lies
Ugly truths
And raging heartaches
They are thoughts put into action
They are verbal, mental and physical
They are more than markings
They are more than dialogue
They are more than thoughts
I love words because of this
Words encompass every arch
Words know every part of your soul
Words are a part of you and me
