words


by Henry Burt Stevens
10/15/2006

the words have
yet to be formed


spoken
heard
understood


between any aggregation
of persons


the limits are too small
confined only to
one person
perhaps two


beyond that the words
break fracture chaos
war hate intolerance


driving a seeker of peace
to be contained within themselves


content with watching
a hummingbird
draw nectar from a flower


there are no answers
the answers so popular
poisted daily in great numbers
fail fall before their echo


shreading tearing peace apart.

These are beautiful words to which I connect very strongly. I very much enjoyed this poem.
