Analysis of Writing A Letter



  Together forever we are beings of light,
all of us brothers and sisters let us unite.
by the word let us join together in a point of view we share,
less we follow one another into despair.
Choose not to adhere to the ill will others portray,
when the letters come together you'll know what to convey.
The words shall form anew note after note,
try to make peace with all that you've wrote.
Purity shall connect spirit as you feel the unspoken,
bestow the good word and let it remain unbroken.
As each letter is selected if not neglected,
the breath within is reflected allowing the orchestra of life to compose.
Once you hear the sound, you'll realize what you've found.
The words we speak and write we need not sight.
Take what you find and share with others,
Teach and guide your sisters and brothers.
God spoke creation into existence,
let us learn to communicate without resistance.
With the spirit of the word fail not to act,
within the span of your wings keep it intact.
