The power of one word

is inconceivable.

A combination of letters changing lives?

Unbelievable.

Changing skies from gray to blue,

a flower of hope,

growing througn a crack in the sidewalk.

Leaning towards the light

so it can collect sunbeams and

plant them inside of you.

Words are beautiful

in that way,

I think.

I think so too ^_^ really well said! I can't add anything more than what you already wrote...May be just the fact that words have simply the power to turn a life around. Thank you forsharing this. It was marvellous.
