Perception


Words written...

Tightly bounded

They speak louder than actions

They tell a tale, or even speak facts

They explain and sometimes even break down

Their eyes gazing like the cautious owl

Looking to catch its prey

The words are its instrument

Its senses are keen 

It is a poem

Its prey is knowledge and understanding

The tools for this hunt are its words

All shrouded in the creative juices of humanity.
