Words come
they go.

Words ebb
they flow.

At the depth of despair
(they are there)
or breaking free
they can float on ribbons of air.

Words

hurt,
they desert.
or **** a part
of the heart
in an instant.

When of pure hate
the weight
of them
can be my undoing

Words

Once released,
Lay bare.
They stare
at you
Unyielding;
  
With the grip of a vise
They adhere.
Can’t take them back
Or pack
Them away for another day.
  
No.

Words

Are

Powerful.

Too powerful.

Choose wisely,
my friend,
Depend/
On your own
Goodness.

Speak true and free
Love and honesty
Will guide your path
To life’s real meaning;

Because

Words

Can heal.
They seek and feel    
another heart,
and penetrate the shield.
  
Words of praise
and  encouragement
raise children of wisdom
and strength.

This wish for you, I leave
As you give, may you receive.
The karma of the universe,
and make the world a better place,
By how you use your words
  
Words come
they go

Words ebb
they flow.

You choose.

and

Use them wisely!
