Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Symbols cluster to form your speech As sprinkled emotions find their seat Like echoes ricochet off hallowed halls Resonate an evidence of a tangible fall Oh mighty words How you long to portray Apologies and promises Which deeds should convey Ten in the bush or one in the hand Shall proof lessen my faith Does the hourglass lie by its last speck of sand Or shade make a sundial fake Eloquent phrases doth not expectations meet Validation must have its day A narrative cannot express silences feat For its stone which endures not clay Grant me the man Who's actions speak louder than words With him through Hell's fire I shall stand And love him without end undeterred
