The words we choose

March 25, 2010

The words we choose to use

Whenever music flows for two or more

Silence built in their absence and ever present

The lack of words thereof

Proof of their usage made as well

The sounds connected to each syllable

A carefully chosen selection

Unconsciously made or thoughtfully crafted

Words none or the less

Exchanged in representation of our being

And what would you do if their form and sound changed?

All of the sudden, new, foreign, private, distant

Words are like a carefully crafted suit

Or a pair of comfy old shoes

What would you do if they no longer fitted into your body?

The words we choose to use

Can be transformed, can be silenced, can be paused

Of course, this can happen as much as our own life can mutate

And be muted, muffled, halted

Conscious or not

The words we choose have chosen us before

I wouldn’t want to wear those that don’t fit well

Those which do not represent my being

Or cannot fit my soul

Would you?
