Words

Words filled with passion are ablaze
from many hearts and souls yearning
Words that have readers all amaze
from talented poets sharing

Words of colors flowing from dreams
forest glens covered in wild-flowers
Words bring to life babbling streams
where the wind and peace surround us

Words weave a tapestry of life
bringing smiles and tears of sharing
Words written sometimes in pains’ strife
shared from heart to pen engaging

Words connecting past and present
ancient history flows through time
Words join so much that is pleasant
gives family from the past life

Words so beautifully are written
tender souls reaching out to share
Words spoken have readers smitten
while arms reach wanting to enfold

Words with-held being left unread
while evil grows and reigns supreme
Words that really need to spread
of His Love given to mankind

Words calling on us to repent
eyes see and ears hear the thunder
Words that are clear in what is meant
prepare for He won’t be delayed

I was very young when I came to the realization that words were the most powerful thing in the world.  They can build up  or destroy.  They can make something seem beautiful, or repulsive, though in fact the thing would still be the same and only our images shaped as to how we perceive it.  They can solidify existence, or void it entirely.

There is so much abuse of word going on in the world today, and by this I mean dishonest representation.  We cannot get truth from the news anymore, the people are all being mislead...and no one is providing a clear answer.  This, is the clearest answer of them all, though.  Thank you, Karen.

This describes it all so well. I was once very shy. I still am in some ways (at least in person). Written words are what I cling to because I honestly feel that I don't sound very eloquent when speaking out loud.
