       Words


Words are spoken in so many ways
Some in Anquish, some in horror
Some in joy, some in shame
Some say nothing, others say even less
Some more than what could ever be put
In words known to man

A means of communicating, chosen by
Man, to say what is his thoughts,
In that moment in time

Far more than words, the soul speaks
It says what is not , what was or could be
When the soul speaks though words
It sheds the ultimate of all things
And this is the person within

So tell me my friend, as you wonder this place
Are the words all you know, to say what you feel
Or do you feel what is, cannot be put into words
But only a feeble attempt to type what is, so
Carefully laid within

A simple test to explain, a rose, for
Many words spoken, of such a lovely display
Yet no words have come near to master the
Beauty of such a gift

I say cherish what is, and what is yet to be
For words are after all, only words, if they
Don't address what is

Words are hugh boulders,created by man
To injure and insult without a thought
From him

Words are as soft as the new born snow
So perfect in every respect, so pure
As the soul of a new born child, before
He learns the way of man

So my friend, from a mere man of poor
Words, I share with you this day
The message of a wise man from long ago
Remember the words spoken by you
Are all that you are in the moment in time
You use of them, be wise not foolish
Be humble not selfish, for with these as your
Guide, the words will always be used well
By all that cherish, such a wondrus gift
That we all have the honor to use

Thank you for your thoughts...perhaps this is
why we have the senses of smell, taste,
touch, sight...to make up for the inadequacy
of hearing.

For all the kindness you have shown to respond to me , a gracious thank you is so little I give in return for the graciousness of the moment you shared with me
