I think words have power.
Poetry is a form that words take, and in that same way, poems have power.
Perhaps not power so great that we can always see it or feel it, but a word can cause a ripple in someone's life so profound that it shapes them.
A poem that might seem meaningless to most people can make a certain few shiver, and a poem that does that to me is this little piece by a poet who existed a long time ago.

I have been a multitude of shapes before I assumed a consistent form.
I have been a sword, narrow, variegated,
I have been a tear in the air,
I have been a word among letters,
I have been a book in the origin.
