Please be gentle with words
utter them with soft lips
caress them with your breath
Don't use them carelessly
or flaunt them
to make yourself look big
or use a fancy one
where a plain one will do
for each word has its moment
Let the words sing their own song
floating off the page
into the clear fresh air
Watch them fly away like butterflies
going no obvious direction
their meaning deliciously apparent

going no obvious direction
their meaning deliciously apparent
I think I need to come here more often again.
