the spoken word
is pure energy
and therefore
it cannot die
once uttered
it cannot
be taken back
for energy
can be altered
but never
can it be
destroyed
take care
in what you say
your words are like
never-ending ripples
on the great
Sea of Life
(((((((((O)))))))))

Oh my goodness gracious! I just read my posted poem and I made a serious typo in the last line! It should be "Sea" of Life.
"Seal" just doesn't work, does it?!?

well spoken words
if you go to the top you will see icons and one is for edit so you might correct that.
Be blessed, Cher

And now the "real" Magicmystery stands up.... Beautiful poem ... My mother, alterego previously posted above using my identity on her computer without checking who's identity she was under. I echo her words.....
Ps.... if there are any moderators out there watching, you might want to set the record straight if that is at all possible.

(smiles) Oh Linda, this is so very true, every word we say means something and every action has its consequence but as long as we love and be graceful, nothing but comfort and light will come our ways! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thank you all for your "words"---the written ones are as powerful as those spoken! Thank you very much for your feedback!
