Words . . .
How could
I have
dedicated my life
to anything
so flimsy,
so flexible,
so absolutely ready to deceive?

I can't think of anything more interesting than to be a writer. We don't need other people to amuse us as long as we have a pen and piece of paper...thats all we need.

and maybe some food once in a while ha.

I couldn't agree more, Victoria, even when I'm complaining it's fun. Thank you for your comments.

Your words are very true

We mine papers, white,
Digging with pens to reveal,
The gems that are there,

Very much enjoyed.

VERY succinctly and well said, Jerry !

To me ... 'words' are the only lasting source of
true 'magic' in this lovely but oft' sad 'ol world!

Thank you very much, Bruce, I agree with you that words can be magical, and on the other had cause sadness and pain.

Words can be creative and instructive as well as mean and destructive...an extension of the thoughts blending within...James
