Words and Us

Do words whether spoken or written have the power the beauty the enchantment the mystery to convey meaning to evoke emotion to paint pictures to uplift to crush to bring joy to cause pain to enthral or is it our choice of words and their sequence our presentation our delivery that gives words their heft their magic their ability to enthral to cause harm are we just a jumble of feelings thoughts and images without meaning or structure lacking identity needing words to comprehend our complexities to give us meaning and purpose to convey to others what we feel in our hearts what we perceive in our minds do words need us to fulfil their potential do we need words to enable us to be who we are the dependence must surely be mutual for each without the other would surely be left wanting.
