Wonderful Power

Poetic words...they have a difficult time running through my fingers, but when they slip through my lips, passed my tongue, they carry with them my heart. But sometimes even in speech, no word can be adjective enough in showing what my eyes see and what my soul feels. Letters that form words mean little, only their hard, flesh definition, without the feeling that one puts into them. I do not speak seriously if each sound that escapes me has not yet enveloped my heart and taken a piece of my soul, as if to transfer a piece of me to whomever is at receiving's end. A sound cannot be muttered, nor a picturesque scene captured in one's eye, without seeing and hearing the beauty, capability, and power that rests within each sight and each word. These must be seen and heard for what is there on the surface, but also for all the beauty and power that go unnoticed by most. One does not often remember, or even realize, the power and strength these wonders hold. In an instant, we might all be dust and become part of the whole. But as we are not, one must be unyielding in gratitude and wonder, for at any moment, we could become the wonder.
