Words Touched



So much to share and tell!
Some ideas fabricated – others I know well
But you, dear reader,
Can turn the page any time!
Toss my book, or lap up every line
Or erase me out of your mind
And go routinely as you are – missed out and blind
You, dear reader, are creative; do not need kings
You can combat vegetation and the nothingness of things!

To read is to enrich
Words - meaning - retention
Have their coy intention
So many tongues, so many phrases
In truth, most go to blazes
The gift to share from mind to find
What greater pleasure can you find?
