The Beauty and Power of Words

Okay- I love words. I kinda intend to base my whole life around words, so I'd better love them. And I love the way they sound together even more than they sound alone. I love stringing together winding sentences that twist and turn down pages of paragraphs, seething and foaming with vibrancy and life that is only defined by this finite limitation of letters. And then there are short ones. They say- "Stop," "Wait," "No," "Please." They contain more emotion in their measly amount of letters than all the orators of Greece.
Then there is alliteration- alliteration is an all time favorite. I once read of a character whose alliterating aphorisms turned victims to statues of stone, held by his hypnotic words. Alliterations have a melodic measure to them, dancing and dipping to the beat of a internal drum. They benefit the word world with a melody of musicality that is not matched in any other mortal form.
I have some favorite words that I have used previously in these paragraphs- musicality, seething, finite, dancing. There are other ones that should not go unnoticed- revelry, togetherness, hue, deluge, civility, femininity, sugary. Each word has a special place in this correspondence of communication, but some have a elevated stature of sound above the rest.
