word images, language created
giving pause and causing reflection
interpreting change and reinvigorating
all while simply laying on processed wood pulp
taking the mundane and transforming it
molding the vernacular to encapsulate wonder
giving the reader a moment of awe
transfixing them in an instant
rooting them to the spot in which they stand
feathers float and leaves fall
sun rises and sets in the glory of color explosion
and glistening droplets of water coat the landscape
bringing a sense of peace to the grass blades and humming birds
natural beauty grips the inner eye
building mental images of the greatness of a waterfall
foggy mornings overlooking shadowy pastures
the faint silhouettes of horses or deer creep into view
and once again the writer finds themselves in control of the journey
twisting the reader in whatever direction chosen
leaving them wanting –
