Words strung eloquently together in a chain,
Like shimmering, miniature galaxies clinging to the neck of the most beautiful of women,
Expressing the essence of the artists ever increasing insight,
The intricacies of other-wordly beings and non-physical entities brought to light,
On a thin piece of a once and past living life,
Providing the evidence, acceptable to some, of mind over matter,
Flowing soothingly from the hand, wrist, arm, shoulder, neck, brain and farther,
Putting the wisdom of accumulated millenia into the form of the English language,
Tossing it out into reality for the world to judge as it sees fit, preparing to accept the damage.

"Words strung eloquently together in a chain,"

~ and you appear to do that very well!!!

When I was a little girl, I kept a dictionary beside my bed. I used to 'read' it every night before I went to sleep. My vocabulary (at that time!) was very advanced for my age and I was often referred to as a "Walking Dictionary"! lol My love for words resulted in my love for writing.

Giving you a warm, welcoming, pip hug,

Thank you.  I'm fascinated by words, in all forms, be it a novel, a documentary, etymology,  even, especially, the effects of words and language on the brain, and how they can "program" the brain through repetition, which is used by some who wish to mislead people.  If you are interested in that concept see here for an essay on it (not by me): http://www.opposingdigits.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8327

I too have long had a love affair with words & used to do the same as Earth Angel with the Dictionary! When I was a kid, I also used to spend hours writing out the complete content of my christmas annuals.....
