I can paint you a
vibrant picture
That you cannot see
Not unless you actually
and truly listen with your whole being
I can tell you a sweet
little tender story
Or one of sadness,
deception, or depression
The list can be endless
Minutes, moments, or
forever
I can weave a tapestry
without a single thread
And create you a
portrait without a single drop of paint
Words can reach you
anywhere
Through the darkness
they can bring forth light
Quietly, subtly, or all
at once
It will help your
search through the mist of doubt
Fight or flight...
Compromise or
surrender, though not complete
Words can carry you if
you let them
Until you find yourself
far removed from everywhere
In a world created
through yourself
Words through actions
give you the power to rise above your troubles
To seek out the solace
you may be needing
So make the choice to
be everything and more than simple silence
Do not let the shades
of gray define you
Paint the picture that
you can see in your heart
The one you know exists
in your being
Tell your story the way
you can hear and feel it in your soul
And listen to your own
words until you understand.
