Writing... Words... Power

Writing… emotion transformed into tangible form… or at least as close to “tangible” as feelings will ever hope to be. Transforming thoughts… emotions… imaginary worlds… cruel realities… lost lovers… merciless pain… unfathomable bliss… crippling fear… the purest love… untethered passion… life… death… eternity… into something every heart and mind can understand. Never ceasing as they tell the endless stories of infinite souls over an immeasurable moment in time.

Words are boundless and free… and yet they will imprison your mind without pity. They can heal your wounds… or they can destroy your soul. They will embrace you... comfort you… liberate your heart… and they will torment your mind without remorse. They are a loaded gun that cannot be stopped after the bullet erupts from the smoldering chamber... and they are the soft, soothing voice that whispers to you gently in your dreams as you sleep.

Take care with the words you speak… whether they are expressed on paper, or spoken out loud… for they are the most powerful magic a human will ever possess.
