#11 of Poetry

Critical thinking about human use and connotation of words themselves. Wrote it in (not for) English class junior year.

_Words_

What are words   
Written across the page?   
What emotions   
Are written into these words?   
Why now   
At this moment in time   
Do we choose to write?   
What inspires?   
What makes us know   
See, feel, understand,   
To write words?

Words   
Must they be written   
To hold their power?   
Their awe, splendor, degree   
Of command.   
The beholder

Leader in command   
The word.  
The physical form of emotions   
The epitomy of communication   
The form of understanding   
Speech the invisible word   
Word the soundless idea.
