Poem Artwork

Every line oozing with knowledge

Many moons have gone by

Till date, the power of those words in my soul sings

Was touched by literature, as I sat reading 'Things Fall Apart'

Written beautifully it was, by the famous 'Chinua Achebe'

May in peace his soul rest

Though physically gone, he still lives through all his literary works

Authors, if God has given you the precious gift of writing,

nurture it and write diligently

You just never know, who you may touch

Touch with the power of your written word.

...the much travelled road of Literature...spoken and written
words of art that reflect human condition...
Mary, your words of lasting artistic merit speak to me...and
touched my heart...Thank you for sharing.

I can imagine Mr. Achebe's luminous spirit shining love and gratitude through every syllable of these noble lines. Thank you for touching my life "with the power of your written word."

Yes, the written word is almost more powerful than anything else because it can transcend time. With the advent of Internet searches, more available than ever.

You make some salient points regarding the gift of writing. I think I have been guilty at times of taking it for granted that I find it easy to express myself through words and writing. Thank you, Mary. Love and best wishes to you,

Very true Mary
many writers leave an impression within us all
and we tend to embrace their words of knowledge
learning and attempting to create our own thoughts
as great as theirs..... love & peace be with you

Dear Mary, You speak the poetic truth in your bottom lines:

"Authors, if God has given you the precious gift of writing,
nurture it and write diligently
You just never know, who you may touch
Touch with the power of your written word."
Amen!

Love, Peace and Blessings,

John Michael
