The Power of Words

The Power of Words

Winds of apathy will not shake me
though I am invisible to this crowd
or seen darkly, blurred and misty.

I shall leave you all, head bowed
so you can play your strident noise
while I open my book of words
to recount the sum of all my joys.

Words take wing like songbirds,
finding minds to touch and arouse,
where characters give love and reveal
imagined souls for me to browse.
Matters not if they be false or real.

Pages press scenes within my heart
and arrange my thoughts, part by part.
