Painting Words

and playing with words

Painting Words

What can I do with words?
I can paint them,
Write them,
Speak them.
I can use fingers,
Forms,
And mouth.
Whatever I do,
I see words.
Silent words.
Without words,
There is no us,
Without words,
There is no culture,
Without words,
There is no sense,
It is words,
That make up my universe.
