“My Words”

From darkness and despair
to lighter than air,
my words tumble about in my head.
Sometimes crawling, but at times racing
like a cheetah across the plains.
My words flow as thoughts
through my head on then to paper.
Sometimes typed, but typically handwritten,
my words make sentences
or pose deep questions.
Are words really thoughts,
or are thoughts really words?
Does something have to be written
or can it be expressed
verbally, nonverbally, via computer?
With so many ways to share,
does the media really matter?
My words reach out to you;
it doesn’t matter how.
