Words are like threads
Pulling our heartstrings
And drawing our thoughts
Lifting us higher
Like marionettes

Words are like threads
Twisted and tangled
A Gordian knot
Whole worlds bound up
In what people have said

Words are like threads
Holding up guillotines
Arrows pulled taut
Only a sentence
Until it is read

Words are like threads
Closing the circuits
Connecting the dots
Weaving bright tapestries
Inside our heads
