words are bridges to places i want to go and things i want to know

they inspire in me a force that longs to see and touch the old and new

they are like a spiders web that can travel long distances undetected

and yet span and connect, almost unseen

it never ends the excitement within as long as i stop to consider and explore

if i never leave my home or the confines of my yard

i will never exhaust the infinite possibilities for examination, reflection and appreciation

inspired but never truly defined by these handrails that take me to the mountain and across the many rivers bridged by words

words have power to take one………………………………….anywhere and everywhere
