I adore words.
They surprise me.
Provoking thought and ideas...
they often come from words.

Think of words,
just the word.
How many letters are there there in "words?"
Is it five?
I suppose that's true.
However, I propose an option number too.
When I see "words,"
letters abound.
Because I see the letters that "words"
compounds.
Can you?

There is power in words,
you know?
The power to influence a yes or no.
Words can comfort.
Like a much needed hug.
Warm and sweet
gentle love.
But words can hurt.
Quick is the tongue,
like a lightning strike.
And harsh words leave marks
like a viper's bite.

Do you even understand words?
I envy those who do.
But more than just the meaning.
They are more than a definition.
A definition?
Distinct pieces
of the puzzle.
The puzzle you know as
speech.
Connected to create an extravagant
picture with a greater meaning than
that single piece!
A sentence.
The means
of making meaningful
words multiply until
they have a meaning.
Masterfully crafted by
a mindful wordsmith.
Magnificent!

I think...
I like these elements.
Words.
