"She was fascinated with words. To her words were things of beauty, each like a magical powder or potion that could be combinded with other words to create powerful spells." From: Lighting(By: Dean Koontz)

a Word to fix a broken home,
a Word to dance to all alone,
a Word to set a crowd on fire,
a Word to save you from a pyre.
a Word for Guilt...
a Word for love...
a Word for all the things I've done.
