Value words
Words, patiently weighed Reflect some inner spark
of inspiration
Waiting to be conveyed
in outer form
to virgin page
or ready ear.
Not overclothed
but wrapped in clarity
translucent, vivid, sheer,
so the idea
all fresh and new
comes shining bravely through.
Spare words
the indignity
of being used as
mindless utterance
oblique, confused.
Love words -
Use them with care
Know them
as precious and rare
expressions of the Word
which lies behind all creativity.
