I never recall my dreams at dawn, yet last night, Ringo Starr drifted into my slumber. In that surreal moment, we exchanged words of song and poetry - just before he faded into twilight, he left me with a question that echoes still: “Are these truly poetry?” And with a knowing smile, he replied, “What are words?”

In the velvet theatre of my mind, his voice cascaded like a timeless refrain, each syllable aglow with the shimmer of forgotten stardust. Our dialogue unfurled into a graceful dance - a delicate interplay between the resolute strum of guitar strings and the ephemeral heartbeat of verse.

I wandered through corridors draped in half-remembered dreams, where each word painted its mark upon the endless canvas of night. I mused on whether language is nothing more than an echo, or if it wields the power to capture the boundless depths of our silent, unspoken truths.

Beneath the halo of a fading moon, that lone question resonated endlessly, a quiet challenge to the weight and wonder of language itself. In that shared moment, poetry transcended mere letters and rhythm - transforming into a living paradox, as transient as it is eternal.

Now, as dawn spills its gentle light upon the edges of memory, I find myself ensnared in the echo of that simple phrase, pondering what words are but fragile vessels carrying our dreams, our songs, our deepest selves.

So, with Ringo’s gentle mystery still humming in the morning air, I embark upon a journey through the intricate terrain of language, seeking the hidden meanings cradled between every tender note of the song that dares to sing within our hearts.

What are words? They are the echoes of our souls - ever fleeting, ever profound.
