I wrote this thinking of the art of words and their role in love. How they are tools to convey, yet are so easily lost in another’s crude or inaccurate translation.
Spoken word, said in person, has many advantages over written word because you choose speed of delivery, add tone, body language, volume and pauses, all of which relay more than a typed word on a screen or page.
That said, you can build glorious confections, only for them to be heard as the thud of heavy boots or worse…..not heard at all, ignored.
I suppose it’s like making a fancy coffee for someone, only to discover they’re a tea person or it’s too early in the day for them.
For those of us who love words, we cannot help but employ them to our best ability, no matter how fruitless. It would be like never using the red or gold crayons. As word magpies, we are drawn to the bold, the shiny, the bright….
And after all, that’s what we are attempting to do - create a picture for someone, to paint all that lies within our heart.
