Words have a way
To etch fond say
In fun and play


Words in a surge
Can feed an urge
In thoughts that merge


Words paint and show
A certain glow
Of light that flows


Words touch and heal
Or else conceal
Meaning that spills


Words in good time
Can slot new rhymes
In truth that chimes


Words on a page
Can line and stage
Time beyond age


Words can cause hurt
In splash of dirt
In unkind flirt


Words in a string
Can hurl and fling
Troubles that spring


Words spread a balm
As soul knows calm
In voiceless psalm


Words work to fill
The air with thrills
In timely spills


Words cannot flow
Where stillness grows
A silent show


Words are but thoughts
That speak a lot
In ceaseless plots


Words take a break
When thoughts forsake
Mind games most fake


Words feed the prime
Of curls that rhyme
In lines that chime


Words become still
In drowning fill
Of weary will
