I speak my thoughts with gentleness The things I need to say with care Thoughts held in my hands, gone through my fingers, balanced on my fingertips... ... sent to my lips. I speak my words with thoughtfulness from my faltering tongue The air swaying rippling with meaningful sound I speak my words out loud, they land where I want them to bloom Sometimes as small white daisies Other times as beautiful blue thistles or roses. I watch them grow, my eyes follow their independent will and stubbornness With pride I stretch my hands to pick them and arrange... They grew on me. *** September 21, 2017 Copyright © Darren White

Such a beautiful poem, Darren. Ty for letting us readers get a glimpse inside your compassionate soul. A serene place to have nice sit-down and quiet verbal handshakes of chocolate idea exchanges. Your gifted golden winged pen soars again. A poetic bejeweled masterpiece. Love and many blessings of peace and happiness.

Wow, Darren! I just love this one. So thoughtful. And, yes, our words are so important and can be so powerful too. I especially like the line: "...balanced on my fingertips". Perfect!
