Words of Wonder

Words, oh wonder of the worlds, words

In curly script, or dark bold print

Words can break a heart

Words can mend a soul

From the coldest of hearts

They wring tears of sorrow

A tongue, a mouthful of words

Can give a lashing

Worse than a poison-tipped whip

But most of all

Words give me courage

When I have none

They fill the halls 

With bubbles of laughter

And shouts of joy

Words light a candle

On the darkest of nights

With words,

I no longer have to be

A sad, solitary, soul

With words I can become

A phoenix

Soaring through the air

A blundering banderbear

Bumbling through the bog

Or a mischievous pixie

Causing mayhem in my wake

Words can transport me to

An undersea utopia

Or a kingdom full of elves

But most of all

With words 

I no longer have to be

Alone

Wonderful poem! :) it's strange how certain words carry memories with them- good and bad. To people, words are more than just jumbled letters, words are a feeling. Especially love the ending, thank you for sharing!

Thank you and your welcome. Words I think are dangerous and beautiful.
