Words

Posted on May 25, 2023
Words, love,
Words, rhythm and lilt
Yield a world of richness.
They are my life blood,
Keeping me in touch with life,
And giving me the way to go.
Words are loving,
Words are hating,
They have the power of 
destruction
In their depth.
Words are like broken promises,
They are said in haste,
Without thought.
When will my words bear fruit?
Ten years I have had word
And no fruit:
My heart is bitter with despair.
Words have my life in their hands.
Words connect the heart to the 
soul,
They are the things we need to 
know.
The spoken word is the way to go.
Words are cool,
Words are happy,
But sometimes I want to cover my 
ears
And let the sounds go by.
Without words
I would be lost
In the world of the voiceless.
Peter Rowe
