Wordsmiths

We find beauty in words.

There is something about them that enchants us. 

But the truth is, the beauty is not in the words,

it comes from the wordsmith. 

 

Words are eternally powerful and timeless.

Uttered or written, I guess it doesn't really matter. 

Ultimately, they end up deeply etched

in the recipient's being, carried forever within –

either treasured or abhorred.

So be careful with your words

and handle them prudently. 

 

Wordsmiths are the magicians

of our modern world.

They can breathe life back

to a hopeless case

or deliver a killing blow

to someone in his utmost prime.

This magic comes from gifted minds

who can arrange familiar words together

that will eventually find their way

into our very hearts, minds and even souls

this gift is rare and must be treasured.

These words induce heartaches,

perplex us, bring us to tears

and fill our minds with endless worlds and wonder. 

Their power is limitless.

Their unpredictable minds

can string up words together

in various ways and make them come out 

magnificently spellbinding each and every time.

We all have the same sack of words

that we carry around to use as we please,

however, only a handful of skilled wordsmiths

are able to create emotions

such that we have never felt remotely possible

just by digesting their crafted words.
