The Life Story Of A Word


Words of wonder,
Words of fame,
Words that captured our heart
And burned in us like flame,
Like a dancing fire in the sight

You remember those words,
Those words of might,
Those words that whenever you read
You know its you
You feel it's your life lying before you.

Each and everyone of us has found similar words
In one book or another
We found our words,

Quite remarkable how these words affect us
How these words construct us
How these words guide us
Through our future,
Through our minds

Those words don't have to be love
Or romance or even a novel,
Could be the past or the living present of someone
Its just what you find in those words
Is what has this magical effect on you?

How many times have you read a few lines?
And sit and stare thought it was you?

How many times did you shiver and tremble
After being touched by a few lines?

You had your moments
And if you didn't they're yet to come

But look in the words and realize
The true meaning that lies behind.
Don't be blind to see the truth
Don't be afraid to see through

I am a man of a pen,
I write what I can
I learn what I can
And words are my life,
So much have I found within the words
Security and understanding
It's really a blessing
To read something and feel this shiver
Running down your spine
Knowing these words have reached your deepest line..
Your deepest line of thought of which no one has reached

Those few words have truly reached
Whether you find it in love and romance,
History or psychology or what ever it is you may read
In the end you will find in the correct words you choose
All what you need.

Before I go I'd like to say
Thank you to all of those who write today
To all of those who lived before
And gave us their lives through the books, words and more.

All is inscribed all is said.
But finding the truth is the toughest job yet.

I Am grateful for words , books and writers.
And this is my dedication to the master of all
The commander of all
A dedication to a word.
A word which leads to a life story
