Word-shapes - Virginia Francisco

Word-shapes

I love the way words can be like cookie-cutters
and create all sorts of mindbites and heartbites and soulbites.
An ancient tribe had a word for
“dew-drop hanging from a petal at dawn”.
The nameword for a rare Patagonian tree means:
“the place where the last sunrays fall”.
Mapuche Indians used a single word for
“I carry you within my heart”.
So I´ve been playing around with word-shapes of my own creation:
One designed for: “I know how much you truly love me”.
Another word for: “The joy that oozes out of the embraced pain”.
Care to know the word-shape I just came up with?
“Poems shared in a heart overflowing with awe and gratefulness”.
