No Words

words are powerful
when used correctly they move
but trump them does death
reducing thoughts to mere tears
as the words forever fade

A perfect title and I can relate to the meaning of this little tanka so well. It is difficult to express this much meaning in so few words but you have managed it wonderfully my friend. 7
