When To Be Quiet
Words, like sparks, can ignite
the mind, heart and soul.
Powerful, revealing, they
work their way into our
inner most being.
Once said, they cannot
be taken back again.
Words linger and remain
and so, be quiet
if unsure of your
words.
For thoughtless words
spewed and spread
or mindless chatter
carelessly flung, can shed
a dim light on the one
who speaks them.
