To me, words sing. They carry me up to the heavens and drag me down to the depths.
Sentences soar. They lie there, dripping with juicy meaning as they whisper softly.
Descriptions dance. Well paced prose or the precise hitting of phonetic notes are a symphony to my ears.
Pearls are found amongst the thickest of slime. Masterpieces of diction, form and character one can uncover, buried underneath the deepest mires of messiness.
These glorious works, both lengthy and pointed, are attractive for one main reason: the thoughts and flavour they contain. These concepts swirl and crystalise like intricate snowflakes and make me think, 'If only life was always like this'.
Webbed connections spin and mesh, reflections and shattered mirrors are found everywhere. The hallmarks of beauty and the breath of the Divine mix with dark and twisted truths. Great words and those more humble writings weave a magnificent tapestry indeed.
