Powerful Words

Powerful words, a river, strong and deep,

Can lull a soul into peaceful sleep,

Or rouse a fire, fierce and bright,

And set a heart ablaze with light.

Your words, they echo, just the same,

They possess a force, a burning flame.

They can build up walls, or tear them down,

They can offer solace, and wear a crown

Of gentle comfort, soft and kind,

Or leave behind a bitter bind.

So let us choose with careful grace,

The words we speak, the space they trace.

My words, your words, a vibrant art,

Can mend the world a

nd heal the heart.
