Words

A word is more than air with meanings;

having power and possessing such strength that it can camouflage its prowess

as the meekest of suggestions,

and an assurance so confident it willingly waits aeons for the truth of its assertions

to be proven.

Weightless as air oozing through conversation,

untouchable syllables lodging without contest in our pores,

mining deep into our souls,

changing our perceptions and defences,

without effort,  without resistance,

without cognition.
