By Shannon D., Palm Beach, FL

     Find a word
Steal it away
Store and hoard it
as the precious treasure
that it is;
for a word is indeed a treasure
ask any crafter of phrase
Speak a word
and it may materialize
any syllable you say
could end up as the next big project in the production industry
or perhaps could rewrite the way a nation thinks
A word is a tool
Implement your noise power
make it of use
of benefit
Be a proponent
of this cacophonous world
Speak when necessary to free a caged idea
Speak to wrap someone in a dreamland
Set the disharmonies of the world
spinning elegantly toward a new song
Speak to calm hysteria
Speak to breach silence
Speak to understand
Speak to relive a happy memory
Speak
and make your words meaningful
