Non-Sence

i write these words, but what do they mean?
 a few letters, the meanings can't be seen.
use your imagination and think of the word green.
what do you see? i saw a tree.
no close your eyes and think of the word smile.
what comes to mind? sometimes it's hard unless you think for a while.
now think of happy, what does it mean to you?
my happy could be something completley different, something i hold onto.
so each letter in each word i write means something different to each reader.
do me a favor and write a story where the letters don't matter, it's the story that 
counts. 
Close your eyes, and you're there. 
the words are simply a guide.
