Words fall off the pages and melt into glowing visions and recollections. Molten letters are cast into the molds of haikus and sonnets. Paragraphs are forged under the beating of a hopeful heart, before they are lengthened into stories and novels. Novels that warm up in a searing soul, stories that are annealed in the minds of many. Novels that are ground down to sharp motifs and metaphors, stories that are hardened by revelations and perspectives. Words are read and unread, heated and quenched, till the wordsmith approves. Pens may be mightier than the sword, but words cut even deeper.
