Bits and Pieces

There is a singular grace 

in every silent vow(el)

that was worth it

In every yo(u) 

understood

every trip

or distance

tra(verse)d by

an encyclopedia

In every flight or fight

syndrome at the prologue 

of every book

knowing that there is a chance at every

beginning of every story

there will be hope

 that the villain will see the light

and be somehow redeemed

by some small flicker of 

conscience.

The guy will always get the girl of his dreams in the end

the girl never gets the guy

but still somehow finds a better part of herself

 in not doing so.

This is the way of stories and books

they will break the waybread and walk off into the sunset

leaving a small trail of crumbs for us to follow.

They do just that...leave crumbs that some like to devour with relish lol Words, stories, poetry, thoughts penned, the scrawls of perception, the freedom of epiphanies, all from the hopes/promises/faith/dreams and so on and so forth we invest while reading...literature is a world of adventure on a vast scale...thouroughly enjoyed this piece Corset :)

Yes those silent vowels...and silent consonants...make our language so hard to teach to those who are unfamiliar.
But they learn, and we learn from reading...and we can always hope for different endings. I think the endings should be reversed, the guy never gets the girl, and the girl always gets the guy...
and maybe we keep looking for those crumbs that might put together the slice that gives us the perfect ending on which to munch.
