About Those Words

What is it about words

That draw me in

Captivate me

Compel me

To write sentences

That stack up

Into paragraphs

That build

Into pages

That form chapters

Creating a narrative

That forms a book

Bound by a cover

That draws the reader

Into words

That form sentences

Introducing characters

Page by page

Unfolding chapters

Revealing a story

That captivates

What is it about words

  1. Yes, exactly! What is it? I’ve asked the Lord the same question myself. And I am reminded…

     In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God…

      (John 1:1)

    How can we not be interested in, drawn by, intrigued by words when the Lord reveals Himself as THE WORD?

    Thank you so much for this poem.

  3. This is great and so true! The creation of art is something that compels us, drives us, not just something that we want to do – something that we NEED to do.
