Words

[KatBrown]

Here goes nothing...as I make this first post I'm reminded of a T.V. show I used to watch as a kid called Hogan's Heroes and like Sergeant Scholtz used to day, "I know nothing"

WORDS
They’re just words, right?
Words of endearment words of strife
Words that impale words that are trite
Creative words so cunning and coy
Pregnant with meaning or empty and void

Words don’t have energy, power or force
Til they’re seen or spoken or given a voice
Just letters on a page til the moment they’re heard
At second glance--I guess they are more than words

They’re the start of a thing or its demise
The rendering of ideas the welcomed surprise
The wishing on a star where we enter make believe
A loved one’s last thoughts as they find sweet relief

Think before you speak or so we’ve been told
Wonderful advice from those who’ve grown old
Given because they know all too well
Words can empower or hurt like hell

And seldom do words fall on deaf ears
And heart’s aren’t bulletproof they’re easily pierced
So choose your words wisely their impact remains
A source of inspiration or an indelible stain

WORDS

They’re just words, right?
Words of endearment, words of strife
Words that impale you, words that are trite
Words that are creative, cunning and coy
Chock full of meaning, or empty and void

Words don’t have power or energy or force
Until they’re seen, until they’re spoken, until they’re given a voice
They’re just constructs of letters, til they’re spoken and heard
At second glance, I guess they are more than words

They’re the start of a thing or its demise
The rendering of ideas, the welcomed surprise
The wishing on a star where we enter make believe
And a loved one’s last thoughts as they find sweet relief

Think before you speak, or so we’ve been told
Very good advice from those who’ve grown old
Given by people who know all too well
Words have the power to cast a dark spell

And seldom do words fall on deaf ears
And the heart’s not impenetrable, it’s easily pierced
So choose your words wisely, for their impact remains
A source of inspiration or an indelible stain
