What are words?
Aren't they but letters
Joined together,
Some written thing,
Some drawings,
That ought to have
Some meaning?
But why do they
Cause some tears to fall?
And why do they
Seem to hurt us all?
More than wounds,
More than bruises,
More than anything
We've ever known?
Words,
Mere words.
Words that pierce us,
Words that change us,
Words that break,
Our souls in two.
They seem like nothing,
But why do I keep on longing,
To hear some words from you?
And when I do,
When you say
You love me, too,
I finally understand,
The power in our hands,
The wonders,
That only words can do.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
