words

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.
to be contained within themselves
content with watching
a hummingbird
draw nectar from a flower"
These are beautiful words to which I connect very strongly. I very much enjoyed this poem.
