Words are so vital, their absence hurts
beyond all denial or refrain
when the longing becomes something lost
and unable to rise above pain.

Words spoken lightly, that should mean much
tossed around, just a casual wave
when they cease to speak of any truth
there may be nothing left then to save.

Words born of need, full of dark pretense
never given as true gift of love
just used to manipulate soft hearts
and achieve what the speaker dreamt of.

Words to allure and then turn away
with easiness of an empty soul
words giveth, and yet they then take back
as hearts wishes and dreams turn to stone.

Words can resolve all the pain within
or make harsher the most bitter fears
Silence, also denier of love
and provider of loneliest tears.

(sigh) Sooooooo powerfully said, sweet friend, words can both help and hurt us all, I pray with all my heart that words will provide for all your lonely tears and more words will come and guide you to the embrace of true love to last forever! (kiss on cheek) Our hearts all go out to you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sandra, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

It's easy to forget, sometimes the power words have. Their effect can last long after their meaning has been denied. I like this, Sandra. It is so full of truth.

Very well said! I always find such power and wisdom in your poems...seems that you and I are often on the same wave length!

Take care,

So true, Sandra. Words have great power to sway our emotions and make us respond a certain way, but silence can sometimes immobilize us.

You write the truth so gracefully Sandra.
I especially liked the first line in this.
Vital they are, and your words speak so eloquently.

catalinamoon - ah yes, words are so very powerful, but as you mention so is the silence. At times I don't know which is the worst...
