The Wordsmith

The wordsmith.  
So wondrously ordained with    
this great and magical gift.........  
   
To take the smallest partical  
The tiniest speck of an idea......  
.....and from within his wrap, his brush and pallet can spin  
   
Beautiful yarns, fabrics of bright  
surreal colors that when assembled......  
   
…...excite, enrage  
motivate, crush, terrorize  
seduce, inspire  
enthrall and inflame the mortal soul......   
   
......simply speaking words.  
   
Oh yes. Thou art the captain of this most powerful vessel.  
Yet as you traverse this undulating landscape,    
one may never know what awaits, what the perils may be at end    
or whom may fare the journey with you as it begins..........  
   
….....or where and when the mutiny shall appear along the journey (surely it will come)  
Subject to mortal folly, words shall do their bidding  
stirring emotion, whimsy and fantasy  
provoking sedition, yielding to dark seduction    
   
Thy words breathe life and words bring death.  
When all else is but dust and blown away, the only thing left will be.......  
words.  
   
So ….......  
Wordsmith, great artisan supreme  
Please remember this one, important thing  
As you weave your incomparable, lyrical fabrique  
It's innate beauty and splendor  
Vividly rich colors and emotions; decidedly brilliant and deep
   
Pray you not become entangled within    
the loom of your own...........  
   
…........words.
