Words....

Heavy, the thoughts they weigh on mind sometimes,
Light, the relief when now and again I rectify
Whatever it is that seems to be the thing that's getting me

Words, they excite me...they tantalise me...they soothe me
Why say in one word when you can use ten or more
Keep it short, is what some people say
But why?  I doesn't always come out that way

People's thoughts, put down in black and white
Make you think, make you stop, read and excite
At what they were thinking, what is the inspiration
Is it here and now? Or just some passing thought
Or from deep within, where we all like to delve sometimes
Wherever they come from, they are a gift for all

No matter how long or deep or how big or small
A crisp summer morning, a dark winters night
A summer afernoon, when everyone feels the sunlight
Everything is a feeling, an experience, a moment
Good or bad, happy or sad, it's there, it's happening
Grab it, use it, keep it and you just never ever know when you are going to need it

To everyone who writes, some are so inspiring
They make things become clear, even when everything else is clouding over and pushing me down
Some write for fun and I love that too, just a witty word, some banter, for me and you
Take it all in, store it away, jumble it around or keep it intact
But take it and admire it
Smile at it, frown at it, respond to it, learn from it,
Whatever you do just don't ignore it

I say this a lot but music is the true food for my soul
but without the words and the lyrics
it wouldn't be what it is for me
Nibble it, bite it, swallow it whole
Devour it...
Just please don't ignore it....
