Sing of the words upon the page Songs of lilting phrases A paean to the written word That humbles and amazes See how it breaks your heart in two See how it surprises Watch how a reader gasps in awe As you shatter his surmises Is there as rich a medium? Their minds become your canvas Paint with a palate made of words Landscapes and lads and lasses Oh to be nimble as a word To leap from thought to thought To jump to a conclusion And then realize you’re caught!
