Words convey much of what we know <br />Words for power, words for show <br />Words for knowledge, a word to the wise <br />What often matters, to some a surprise <br /> <br />Words of anger may leave me cold <br />Icy shards for me to hold <br />Winter roads in trouble paved <br />Dead end roads to ice filled caves <br /> <br />Critical words-a harsh attack <br />I can feel the goosebumps down my back <br />My stomach churns, my heart gives way <br />These words might sting, for many days <br /> <br />Gentle words of soothing calm <br />A healing tonic, a gentle balm <br />Understanding words, given freely in love <br />Tangentially joined to forces above <br /> <br />Loving words a field of psalms <br />I want to give them away, I want to go on <br />Love spoken softly, I feel my place <br />My home with Spirit in time and space <br /> <br />Carry soft words to the ether's blue <br />Sing the words in peaceful hues <br />Reach for the stars through a gentle word <br />Held in your hand like a newborn bird<br /><br />Ray Andrews<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-revised/
