Wow

The spaces an idea or thought
can elevate or drive the spoken
or written word towards

Be they cursid dank and dark 
or brighter than a fireflies belly
or all that's inbetween the breathing
and the pauses

To note the death that war has
waged on soldiers loved one's

To speak and tell of love and 
loss and breaking up

To expressions of sorrow and 
regret on an apology letter

Or just to be a storyteller with
a fertile imagination

Such as a laureate trading word's 
against swords armed with only
a well of ink parchment and a 
scribe in hand

Dying a death by a thousand 
paper cuts
