Words

In words, I find beauty
in words I find peace
in parlance of living
in figures of speech

the comfort of writing
ink meeting with page
the soothing of soul
the ebbing of rage

in rhyme, I find reason
for all of life's seasons
expressions of love and humor and pain
when written on paper, they keep me sane

the sacred union of paper and words
bonded by thought, these lovers converge
a marriage well scripted, with love and with lust
in words of forever, laced with truth and with trust

The picture was so cool Lyra,
good choice and wise words.

indeed a sweet union.... I adored this one...

I agree it is the perfect medium for getting it out without having to sweep up the mess afterward.

Love, Light and Peace

Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow.
But above all... be kind to yourself today.
