Mere words can paint a landscape of mental imagery
Where words arise in epic form escaping drudgery

Mere words can comfort broken hearts when souls are racked with pain
Where words of solace serve to bind the hurting song’s refrain

Mere words can ease the burdens life causes us to bear
And lessen pressures that we lift by simply saying, “share”

Mere words can hurt, unfortunately, even when we don’t intend
Those words are hardest of all re-called and seldom do they mend

So, when by chance, the words you pen or speak this very day,
Remember only this
The choice, my friend, is yours and ere they fly away
Please, speak not amiss

Mere words do make a difference in each and every way

Yes, words can build up or they can tear down. An interesting mix of forms here. *OOPS-- you must've edited since my post.* Grover.
