Words are …

Words are …

a vibration

of feelings that drive thoughts 

producing intricate sounds

that download and translates into patterns of letters 

forming a word

energy 

that shake up 

emotions

noise

that can feel rough or comforting

make us laugh or give us no sensations at all

strong

enough to bring life into fear

light enough to shift us into the beauty of love

imprints

of spaces we can go back to 

reminding us of where we have been and where we want to go

historical 

bringing back like yesterday times of war and when we spat hate

timeless

realities of expression

that help us wrap our mind 

around earths infiniteness 

separation 

that puts us inside a

plethora of labeled boxes

titles

given based on conditions

we chose or are born into

answers 

that help us find our way

fun 

and express the spirit of who we are

mean

everything and nothing 

what we give our feeling to

words

are an illusion
