Words Echo

Within that realm where ink and parchment combine
every swoop of our quill can conjure up a tale divine
The written word cavorts and capers upon the page
delights hearts, ignites minds, sets thoughts ablaze
For in those lines, once set free, a world of beauty lies
with imagination, a daring new adventure might arise
But when these words are heard, they ascend, inspire
a symphony of sound, melodic, dramatic, rising higher
As if elevated into something that is far more profound
expanding thoughts, thus transposing silence into sound
The written word is a gateway to enrich the weary mind
once spoken, transforms realms, where dreams reside
I am a retired Scottish septuagenarian. I began to write at the start of the pandemic, entering lockdown and the world of words simultaneously. I have many hobbies, but writing helps to fill an insomniac's dark quiet hours. I've been lucky enough to see various poems and short stories published, online and in print. Some of these publishers are Chris Fielden's “Nonsensically Challenged” (for charity), High Shelf Press volume XXIII, WinglessDreamer, Spillwords Press, 805 Lit and Art, Funny Pearls, Little Old Lady Comedy, Dillydoun Review, The World of Myth Magazine, Friday Flash Fiction, Superfast Stories, The Library Love Letter, DBA Wordslinger Enterprises.
