Wording a Thought

" Thought is a bird of space, which if kept in a cage of words can unfold its wings but cannot fly"
says Khalil Gibran, the philosopher

So what do Ido to put a hose to the chimney of my mind that in its casual peregrination also plays a lapidary to perennially examine the pearls of thoughts that keep rolling incessantly on its floor.
Like a PCB(printed circuit board) the experiences imprint themselves on my tabula rasa germinating billions of thoughts on its fertile landscape
What do I do to “express” them if not mould them in the words.
I am a painter of words not colors, I m a dancer who maneuvers with phonetics not limbs, I am a trapeze artist who juggles in the sea of symbols. I am an engineer who manufactures imagination and a sculptor who carves out words out of them.
I am a writer.
The moot question according to Gibran is (as I perceive):
1) Is there a need
2) Do the words take away the virginity of the thought

To the first query I say ..the answer will be contextual.. if there’s an injustice going around me or if there’s simply lack of awareness around. Merely thinking about making people aware wont do….u HAVE to bring it about through your words!
To the second one I say … it’s a corollary to one’s abilities…ability to express the thought..which does not need the cushion of any verbose vocab or highfalutin language.
So what is the rhetoric. What is the harm in expression
Isn’t the pen mightier than the sword?
