1000 Words



A picture is like a thousand words
life telling stories through imagery
black and white or in full color
let the images give you the full coverage
that landscape shot that no one can believe
to that portrait shot that
ignites the love in someone’s heart
which gives them a  new set of eyes to view his newly awakened life
to break down the barriers of prejudice, hate, and war with our brothers and sisters

a brush stroke is like a thousand words
emotions crashing in you making your stomach feel twisted and empty inside
seeing the pain and hardship that was faced to make the masterpiece that’s on the wall
for every different color of paint and brushstrokes you see
you feel the blood rush from the center of your heart to the tips of your toes to the millisecond that the bumps on the back of your neck become raised.
the life changing opportunity of seeing that Pollock or Gogh original.

music may have no words but the melodious notes in themselves have a story to tell
from the crisp sounds of those new violin strings to the old strings that make those piano keys ring
music that uplifts the soul and inspires individuals to take part in their own

a poet’s word is like ten thousand words
how detailed the description is in that poem of love or anger how you can feel the loneliness, the warmth, the fear, nervousness, the ambition as if it were your own
 all through words alone.
