Words are ordinary combination of letters. But not just combination of any letters. Each word is designed to convey a meaning. So, words are meaningful combination of letters. Words, sentences and a language in general are results of generations of evolution, usage, changes and mutations. What is considered contemporary today shall be old-fashioned tomorrow. But, as languages age or as the way people use languages changes, the things that endure are the contemporary expressions representing that particular time. A work of writing is a reflection of times that it is written in. Be it prose, poetry or play. Be it technical, philosophical or vocational, a writer's strength is in the endurance of the idea that the writing represents.
Being a deeply aspiring writer still learning the perks of writing, I am amazed by the capability of great writers to convey profound meanings in permutations and combinations of words that are mostly commonplace. Like painter converting a blank canvas and a few pots of color into a timeless piece of art, the wordsmiths create magic by playing with words.
A right word in right place creates a profound effect on reader. This is specifically true about the poets and lyricists. In a few dozen words, they express philosophies of life, love, relationships, happiness, grief, joy, sadness in such profound ways that the messages endure ages. Whenever possible, people relate their life experiences and express their feelings in the form of those poems, songs or lines from literature or philosophy. Great authors are indeed true gifts to humankind.
I have a dream that words come to me easily and happily whenever I want to articulate something. I have a dream that people easily grasp what I write. I have a feeling that my writing lasts longer than myself. I have a dream that one day I shall have a creation that I could be proud of. I have a dream that some day I shall be able to give something back to society from which I have obtained so much in terms of learnings and philosophies of life. I presume such is the dream of everyone looking for a meaningful life.
Happy dreaming. Good luck (to me as well) for realization of those dreams.
