Tom Wright Poet Lyric

A Hearts Conduit Is a Mouth

A Heart’s Conduit 
Is a Mouth
Written: by Tom Wright 
4/28/2016

Sedated thoughts oft fill our heads,
Anticipating their time of flight;
But better that most remain unsaid,
If given little thought or foresight.

For words we utter have their start,
Not happenstance, as one might suspect.
But were birthed inside our hearts,
Those thought hurtful we must reject.

Reason A. Poteet March 1, 2017 at 3:29 PM How many times I have utter a silent, "thank you Jesus" for not having said what I was thinking and then finding out later it was not true or stretched way out of proportion to the situation. Good piece, Tom, my only suggestion would be to reverse the word order in the last line; "those hurtful thoughts we must reject." You may have a logical reason for the order you chose, if so, ignore me, please.
