This was written as a catharsis after my divorce. It helped a lot as my poetry usually does.

Across the years
Across the miles
Written words
Telephone calls

Reaching out to touch
Spoken words
Written words
Words used as knives
To cut and maime

Words to heal
Never used
Hearts left bleeding
On the floor.

Words to bridge
A chasm deep
Growing wider
With each word

There really is so much truth in this. In the Bible James teaches us that "The power of life and death are in the tongue"!

I agree. One word can alter the course of a life's journey. Thank you for sharing this offering, Ann. Be well,

Words? A mere scratching on the page or vibration in the air. But, oh, how hurtful or how healing they can be. And what's worse many times is no words at all.

When we share a presence or a moment, a smile or wink can convey so much. But to be isolated is to miss the exchange of feelings, to miss the connection with another. We need Words.

Your one-word title could generate a dictionary of responses.
