More Than Words.

I had a dream about someone, and I think it's the first time I've ever dreamed of that person this way. It's been a while since I've dreamed this kind of dream... and it had to be about you.

Here's a shoddy go at an I-have-no-idea-what-style-this-is-but-whatever poem. (:

Just what is it about words that move us so?
When a string of words hangs alongside an orchestra of music,
why is it that we do sway,
to the eloquence of harmony, melody, and lyric,
which are, for our lips, a newly paved way?


Why is it that when one paints a picture with words,
The subject could be tragically beautiful,
Or on the contrary, beautifully tragic?
That words become the ticket to endorsing what is bountiful,
Or that words may just lead the way to utmost havoc?

When a combination of phrases, sentences, and paragraphs
Come together to be presently linked,
Why are we suddenly pulled into magnificent whirl,
Where pictures, painted by black and white print,
dictate us as a character in a new imaginary world?


When a single person speaks just words to the world,
So that all may understand,
Yet with such fervour and such heat...
Why is it that it brings some to stand,
And other still, end up down on their knees?

When a single word is spoken, just tell me how?
How does the crowd know to be silent,
And with another, to applaud with standing ovation?
How is it that they respond to the very instant
from keen observation of a new word revelation?


How is it that a single word brought into motion:
The sun to stretch its rays and shine
Down upon a fresh, new, beautiful day?
And how does another word hang the moon in the sky,
And make it smile through the winter haze?

How indeed, did a single breath of a single word
Call together the heavens and the earth
In celebration and worship to the Lord
As yet another whisper, to humans, gave birth?


And finally, what is it about just one word
That it would encapsulate in a single moment the revelation
We have longed for: the ineffable culmination?
The majesty, the wonder,
The glory, and the splendour,
The awe, the dominion of the one who supersedes any expectation?

Just what is it about the word 'Jesus'...

And there's my pathetic attempt... -_- I didn't know how to finish it! Forgive me. I've been working very hard on this, though (: I hope you like!
