Word Power

Posted by Ramya Shankar on Friday, May 15, 2009 in Confusions, Fiction

She read the note over and over again till she could recite it verbatim. It seemed to evoke mixed feelings from within her and she didn't know what to make of it. There was a sense of hope, yet along with it came a lot of uncertainty and anxiety. Should she be happy for the hope or distressed for what could happen otherwise? Maybe she should stop thinking about both and wait for time to bring answers as it does always. Why couldn't solutions come easier, Why isn't there some make-believe Utopian land where she could escape to from her marsh of thoughts? She wished, hoped, sighed all in vain.
Again, she read the note hoping to discover some underlying meaning to a few simple words. Words, they fail you when you need them the most and come tumbling through at all the wrong times. Weird things they are, words. They sting, soothe, encourage, praise, condole and make you feel all those things when strung together, that you can only experience and never express.

Reading between the lines, can bring a whole new meaning to it...thats why WORDS r so powerful.

Words can do wonders to the mind, and at the same time they can break u into pieces.

Very nice :-) I have felt these frustrations myself. That's the beauty of words I guess. They can be both terrific and terrifying at once. Nice space you have here. Will definitely drop in again. Thanks for visiting :)

Words are like puzzles which can motivate or make u feel sad. Take the good words and leave the rest to scramble.
