Words

Thu, 07/16/2015 - 07:55 -- Grumpy
Thousands of words written, some cast away
Some with a method, or just something to say
Nonesense or cynical, thoughtful or stressed
Something quite lyrical, something possessed
 
Words flow quite freely, most of the time
Some with a meaning or some with a rhyme
Letters together make up something absurd
The will to encompass, the well written word
 
With a mindful of twittering and reflective sounds
All turning to words, the sentences mound
Building a hill or a mountainous book
The words build a dictionary in which to look
 
Never knowingly lost for an unusual theme
Making a meaning from a beautiful dream
Taking a story and making it flow
Words from one's mind, with a place they must go
 
Written on paper, or typed on a page
To be held for a while, left there to age
With the hope they can makes someone smile or grieve
Yours for the taking, mine for to leave.
