The keyboard of life

Each press of finger
Puts a letter on screen
On their own they are just a sound
Together they make sense
The letters make sound

Some words are small
Easy to spell and simple
Some are long and complicated
Tongue twisters and sophisticated
The words make meaning

Each having a same purpose
To convey a meaning
As a string in the sentence
That’s part of the larger story
The sentence make statements

Like the letter needs a word
words needs a sentence
The sentence is not in isolation
It also needs a story
Sentences string up story

In the book they all live
Each at their own place
Ignored individually
Collectively remembered
Story lives in a book

Each of us are just a key
On a keyboard of life
appearing in different words
Making meaning in being together
We live in our relationships
