Picture by Josephine Wall

* * * *

Words have the ability
To warm the coldest heart
They can bring two souls together
With the help of cupid's dart

Words can paint a picture
Of two people so in love
Whose hearts are uplifted
To the heavens high above

Words can say 'I love you'
Filling hearts with deep desire
Like a slowly burning ember
The flame of love burns higher

Words can speak of nature
And flow gently like a stream
They can paint the finest rainbow
And all the colors in between

Words can send a message
Of love from me to you
The perfect form of expression
As they declare my point of view

Words can build a bridge
And introduce me to a friend
My great love affair with writing
Quite simply has no end

* * * *

"Love alone is capable
of uniting human beings
in such a way as to
complete and fulfil them
for it alone takes them
and joins them by what
is deepest in themselves."

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

(smiles) Yes, words can do so much, they can heal a heart, make justice and rights, correct and analyze, make a loved one sing, and make peace, so much more! (kiss on cheek) Yay, I love this, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Sue:  A lovely poem and certainly one I can easily relate to.  I suppose all writers will!  I really enjoyed it.

Absolutely loved this! Your words of words are beautiful and uplifting!

I just love it when you use J. Wall's artwork. Her pictures and your words are meant to be together. Fantastic!!

Hugs for peace, Marti

I like everything about this poem! Awesome.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
