Just Words
It is never just words
Word after word
Side by side, lyrics are born
Authoring songs of lovers
And brokenhearted forever forlorn
Word after word
Life is inhaled into stories of faraway lands
With notorious kings and talking frogs
Beautiful maidens wandering the shadowlands
Word after word
With quill in hand
A weary poet struggles to find
The perfect word
An imperfect rhyme
Word after word
More powerful than sticks or stones
Breaking bones
Words traverse the soul
Fracturing the spirit with unending scars
Word
Just one word—
A solitary word will sharpen a mind
Seduce the dreamer
Encourage the friend
Or shame the same
One single word can draw a smile
Change a life…
Or end one too soon
It is never
Just words
