Words The ancient of words enchants me As much as sailing on the sea Ghosts the wind and it fills my dell Rings my chimes like a rope, to bell. Their symbols run amuck my mind They flash a light and also blind. They’re fireflies in darkest night And wink to me an instant light. Their soundings whispers my ears Residuals of peace and fears Expand my learn to foreign grand’s Extend the fingers of my hands. They are the food that fills my ark They are the light that lights the dark They are the oars that row my boat And buoyancy that makes me float They are a lullaby and scourge They are my outcry and a dirge. They are the fire of my will And some, the dragons that I kill They’re my palettes staked with pigment And my brushes full of figment They are an aphrodisiac They are the echoes of the rack. They’re the dark of genie magic They’re the gentle and the tragic. They are our grapes of toxic juice They are the blood, of human use. They are my sorrow and my dove They are the flowers of my love. |

"They are the food that fills my ark They are the light that lights the dark They are the oars that row my boat And buoyancy that makes me float" A wonderful tribute in words ... to the writing of words themselves. Captured beautifully Sy ... such descriptive phrasing within, lovely indeed!  Best wishes, /Kit |

You speak words that share your heart and soul with all of us and the feast you give us is a gift of wonderous delight. I love the feel of this poem. It says what each poet feels in their heart about words. BRAVO!!! Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

They are each one footstep in this long walk of life. Sometimes jaunty others a painful limp but always moving. Enjoyed |
