Like it or not, words are incredible.

A Few Poetic Words by Poetress



 

See, hear, feel, smell and taste

We utter them in such haste

Do we understand the extent of their meanings

When mindlessly concerned about our everyday dealings?

 

Words of joy spoken in sadness

Words of peace spoken to mar

Words of wrath spoken in gladness

Words of love spoken to war

 

Spoken words are in formation

Shaping lives with due revelation

Whether visible or invisible

Like it or not, words are incredible

 

 
Although words can be heard and unheard

Cried, whispered, mimed and uttered

 Loud, quiet, soft and hard

Without them, do we know whether life would have mattered?
