What Words Can Become
Words become a bridge between two hearts.
Connecting two complete but different parts.
The words we do say record who we are.
They bridge the space to a place that was far.
Words join together to create a point of view.
Becoming the history of all we’ve been through.
When put together the meaning is revealed.
Words become hope so our fate isn’t sealed.
I write many things that appear as just words.
Together they become a melody like notes to birds.
Each one seems to have its own special place.
The sentence becomes the words saving grace.
I look all around to see how things connect.
I look for the cause and then see the effect.
I think without words what the world would be .
How could we describe all the beauty we see?
Words become the paint to create this vision.
Sometimes they collide the sentence is the collision.
They seem to tell this story of what life’s about.
They become light in the shadows of doubt.
