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.

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!

Words can and they do, so be careful what you say.
