A Single Syllable

Some of the most meaningful words Are just a single syllable "Love," and "Hate;" "You," and "I," and then "Me" and "Mine" and "Yours," also, "Ours" "Life" and "Death," "Dark" and "Light," (as in "Let" "There" "Be" "Light")... but also "Sad;" "Grace," but also "Fall" "From," and "Loss" "Joy" and "Faith" come with "Pain" and "Sin" There's "Peace," (though "War" is said as swift); "Here" and "Gone" and, respectively, "Don't" "Go;" "Long" is still just as short as "Short" "Weak" is never lesser than "Strong" It's as quick to say "Right" as "Wrong" It's as much to say "Less" as "More;" "End" was never harsher a word than "start;" "Can" was never harder than "can't;" "Look," "See," "Hear," "Touch," "Taste," each word, then Think hard on any one of them; All just a single syllable- How can one, short sound mean so much?
