Beaches - and Dickinson

I
The word, when said
Makes some go dead
The sound of dog (she)

II
Most beaches lead somewhere
Some beaches lead nowhere
Truth or dare (campuses
Have grassy, waterless beaches)

III
Dickinson: words begin living
"when it is said" (not dead)
Emily knew of flight
In Fight to write

Hello Anil - This is so very true of words make life when written and expressed and that everything comes alive. Thus may thoughts be expressed so life can be born. This is excellent. Truly. Have a beautiful and peaceful day. Remain safe always. Namaste Namaste Namaste (smile)
