Tiny Lines On Paper

Tiny lines on paper
Dots and swirls
Starts and stops

Yet they can make us laugh
And sometimes cry

They can overwhelm us
And sooth us
We can feel them before we realize
What we are feeling

Before words we had sunsets and rainbows
Twilight and hurricanes
Storms and lightning
To do these feeling dances to our hearts

Now we have lines on paper
Mastered by some 
To entice, enrage, educate, or thrill
Feelings popping off a page or out of an I-pad
In the simplest forms of squiggles, dots, and lines.

Creativity conveyed in simple tiny strokes 
Sometimes as powerful as a Tsunami
Feeling words.
Loving words.
Sad words.
Words.

Michelle Faulkner October 22, 2018 at 1:21 PM My 'lines on paper' are scribbly and awfully hard to read, so glad for typing! But seriously this is so true and moving, words can literally change the world! Caren Krutsinger October 22, 2018 at 4:06 PM Words can and they do, so be careful what you say.
