“Words
are powerful
forces of nature.
they are destruction.
they are nourishment. 
they are flesh. 
they are water.
they are flowers
and bone.
they burn. they cleanse
they erase. they etch. 
they can either
leave you
feeling
homeless
or brimming
with home. ” - Sanober Khan

"Though fancy and the might of rhyme,
That turneth like the tide,
Have borne me many a musing time,
Beloved, from thy side

Ah yet, I pray thee, deem not Sweet,
Those hours were given in vain;
Within these covers to thy feet
I bring them back again." - Archibald Lampman
