A WORD is
an detective
to follow an unpredictable future
it travels ahead
And help me pave the way
so that I can get where I want to be

and is
a visitor
sent from my future
to check on
how I’m doing
so that I can become whom I want to be


A WORD is
a prophet
from my past
its gift arrives  
when I get lost
so that I can remind myself where I’ve come from

and is
an editor
of all the stories
it adds meanings
to what I’ve experienced
so that I can remind myself whom I’ve become
