Words

Words

are the skeletons

of an organic language.

This lexicon forms the bones of thought.

 

Thought

is the tendons and sinews,

connecting and moving,

that propel our emotions.

 

Emotions

are the flesh, the blood.

The flushed cheeks, furrowed brow,

and pounding fist of action.

 

Action

is the whole figure,

composed of all these parts.

With action, desires are attained. 

 

Change is born in action.

Action is born of words.

Words give birth to change.

 

This is why I write.
