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
