Words Lack Life
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Thoughts cannot breathe

Until you give them life.

But it is only in imagination

That you'll hear its voice.

 

The written word lacks life,

But comes alive in thoughts.

You create the image with words

And the reader sees them in life.

Aye that the do
and until you pen them or express
them with your breath, not until then
can you give them life :)

Love and Light

That's why Marshall McLuhan labeled reading words as “hot” media and viewing film as “cool.”

So true, George! I have always thought of words as the artist's paints which can paint a picture. If that picture gives rise to thoughts and the imagination the artist has done well.

Love ya!

My philosophy on this is simple.. a writer gives words life.. but it is the reader who gives them heart and soul
