To the reader. Sometimes it is not wise to listen to words that wound..."sticks & stones may break my bones"...but God's words will never hurt me! The book of Psalm 119:11, and Psalm 130:5 reads: "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee"."I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope". Thanks to all and enjoy the read.

 Words are birds.
They fly into the ear,  for everyone to hear.
Sometimes... they bring pain.
Sometimes they bring shame,Then you wish they'd  never came!
Forget   The   Birds ... 

 

Words are birds.
They fly into the eye, you can see waaaaay to the sky.
OH!  such wonderful words they are.
Forget   The   Birds ... 

 

Words are birds.
They make their nest(s) with pride in our chest(s) then rest...awhile...
They seek the "hole"  inside  the  heart; then flyyyyy  into the SOUL
To   "nest" ... Forever . 

 

Words are birds.
They fly  into the ear so, no - one else can hear.
They fly  into the  eye - way - way - way  UP ...   High ? 

 

They fly  into the  "soul" , and then  they  rest !
How  ...      they  ...      rest ! 
Then  they  light, ... on a perfect  ...   Blue  -  mooned   night . 
Then they   "hide"   forever ,   in  the  "blues in the heart..." 
Then they hide!   Then they ..., hide !  Then they ...    " hiiiiide" ... 
FOREVER   ...   INSIDE   ...   the     HEART .

Words are from the souls of poets. A poet needs lots of words. Thanks, Georgia, for sharing!

All I can understand is that you have had to endure some very hurtful words throughout your life. Thanks for fighting back with your poetry.
