We create beauty with words
they are not cliched by time, eternity will not fray their edges
their message shines like a torch in the dark night
the message carries with it its splendor
sometimes words will become a beautiful story
their echo reverberates by breaking the silence
they will reflect with beauty in our souls
giving nice warmth despite the cold around
everything is possible you just need to dream
the pen carries thoughts straight out of the heart and onto paper
sadly, when we cannot find the words to express ourselves
sometimes, somewhere, someone reaches for the sword
