"CAN YOU TAKE A WORD?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can you take a word
That is without substance
Breathe life into it
So it sings with vitality?

Can you take a word
That has never known love
Show it some romance
So that it blushes on the page?

Can you take a word
That once was ugly
And modify it
Into something beautiful?

Can you take a word
That never was spoken
And give it power
So its voice is forever heard?

Can you take a word
That once lived in darkness
And bring it to light
So it won't be ashamed again?

Can you take a word
That once started war
Transmogrify it
Into peace for all who want it?

You can.
Because you write.
The absolute power
Lives within a Poet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are some great ideals in this piece! I particularly like the second and fifth stanzas.

Karla, I can take the word "wonderful" and write it to you... I can take the word "friend" and put it with your name... I can take the expression "thank-you" and send it to you.

You honor us all with this... and you do it with cleverness, honesty and with a style that belongs uniquely to only YOU! I loved this one! katy xox.

Karla, I read this yestereday, but wanted to linger over the words, your words, Poet. I have a tingling inside my head from this piece, you've made me feel your 'Absolute Power' with gentleness, love and harmony. Thank you, my beautiful lady, for composing what will surely become a masterpiece for the ages. Hugs and best of life, and spiritualism, to you and yours.

Your friend,

What a marvelous poem, Karla. And this is my favorite stanza:

Can you take a word
That once was ugly
And modify it
Into something beautiful?
