Conjuring the Real

I'm trying to remember What it feels like to hear words And for them to conjure in you An understanding. I'm trying to remember That I never intentionally sought How to handle heartbreak, or loss, But I found words that said, "There will be joy... Again." And I'm trying to remember, That there was wisdom I needed to hear When I needed to hear it - and all I had to do was listen, and breathe. I'm trying to remember How we reflect the media mirrors, How we roll with the role models We choose. We look without seeing. I'm trying to remember How a single word can have an impact, A name, a spell, a word with emphasis, Intention. Conjuring feelings into tangible, Tongue-striking things. I remember Being thankful that there was a word And that you spoke it when I couldn't. When I wouldn't say what you could, but I read it, and it was real. -- It's about how words are connecting things and that they help us heal by showi
