#27 In the regime of words

In the regime of words

Theme: There are words and words everywhere. We are in fact, encapsulated by them. Can we ever imagine a world without words? Can you think of any other alternative of expressing yourselves? I don’t think it to be ever possible without them. They are as important as the air we breathe. These are the fundamental units of communication, medium of exchanging thoughts and ideas. We are constantly in the dynamic process of exchange of words. We don’t know how many words we give to others and how many we receive in return.. Let’s not get further into the complexities of the words.. After all, we’ve to admit that we dwell in the regime of words..     

                                                         

In the regime of words

We and our reticent selves

Are governed by them which

Lend wings to our

Endless thoughts, emotions

And enliven the unspoken.

Words- reflections of our

Inner spirits and

Mirage to the outer world

Even in the unspoken form

Resembling a strange herald.

Words travel far and wide

Crossing all borders

Either in form of speech

Or simply written stuffs

Conquering ages and minds.

These have enormous power

Having the ability of transforming

The gloomy and defeated souls

If preserved and nurtured

With utmost care.

Words prompt actions

If properly constructed upon.

Ideas emanating from them

Can create wonders

Only when meticulously deciphered.

Some may seem familiar

While others unfamiliar

Yet familiar in a unique way.

They may have their own voice.

Can you guess what they say?

How well do we realize

The dynamic exchange of words?

It’s an infinite chain

Ranging from infinity to nowhere

Enveloping every sphere.

Sometimes we float aimlessly

Amidst the sea of words

Searching for connection or association

With another such word

To personify the expressions.

Words thrown, words caught,

We should know that we must

Hold on to some

While letting others pass

In the continuous flow.
