Words I and Ii

Words I The meaning has fallen out And the words don’t know it yet They hang in the air, Heavy with their own importance Soon they will fall On their flat little faces And the dictionaries Will turn over in their graves Words II I coax the letters Into words They are hopeful They want to say Something Worthwhile On the open expanse Of the white page They claim their space Knowing They are stronger together Than they were alone

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
