What do you mean,
you donโt like words?
How they do what they want
They donโt even need you
Once youโve written them down
They got a life of their own
Yesterday,
I met these words
That were going places
Things to do
Minds to change
Worlds to unravel
And I canโt say
That I didnโt want to own them
But I just knew
You deserve to hear them too
-HTJ

This is EXACTLY what I say about writing!! To precisely quote what I wrote: ‘ . . a creation finds a timeline of its own. It exists independent of us and it outlives us.’ It was such a nice feeling to read your poem โค โค

Therese, you’re right about words. They can make impressions and cause things to happen that you never anticipated. They are free birds in a way.

So true, once our words on on the page, they are no longer really our own. The reader will make their own meaning out of them. ๐
