She watched the clouds as it slowly flew by in a pattern. 
A pattern of words. 
Mesmerising and beautiful  words. 
Words coming together to make coherent statements. She pondered on the beauty of words. Words when strung together make an impact. Words have the power to bring distant people closer and simultaneously have the power to make close people fall apart. Its words which has made kingdoms fall apart and eventually words have made fiefdom survive. Words are strewn in false promises and its words which lift the despair out of misery.


Words stop battle, words start battle and sometimes words are the harbinger of good or bad news. Words spoken without thinking can cause irreparable damage while words with lots of thoughts can change lives. Words motivate, words demotivate, words instil inspiration, words insinuate derision. Words confuse, words amuse and sometimes words are someone’s muse. Words belittle emotions, words rekindle relations, words ideate, words deviate and words manipulate.


Words have started revolutions, stirring men to reach to the battleground. Words have aided dictators to manipulate people and besiege countries. Words have led to loss of life while words have been the path of new life. There are embellishing words which complicate simple sentences.  There are bemusing words which confound the person reading or listening to it. There are juxtaposing words, derogatory words, mellifluous words and sometimes nothing but simple words. Some act as an icing on the cake while some are the cakes we bake


Too many words make us verbose and too little words make us pauciloquent but in the end its words that sometimes define who we are. Words are the means to communication; words are the tools for expression of our thoughts.



But nonetheless when words leave our side… it is silence that communicates to the fullest….
