Ronald Bingham Poet Narrative

Words

Words can take you wherever you wish to be.
   Words can capture and words can set you free.
Words have strength and words have power.
   Words can be descriptive like the beauty of a flower.
Words can be soft like a warm summers rain.
   Words can be harsh intended to bring only pain.
Words can be lifting like words filled with love.
    Words can be hurtful when anger replaces that love.
Words can be soothing like a young mothers kiss.
    Words can hold ecstasy and filled with heavenly bliss.
Words can show feelings and make things okay.
    Words can paint pictures if we know what to say.
Words are what separates us from all other things.
    Words can hold victory and the joys that it brings.
Words can hold life and a thing known as death.
    Words are just sounds made with mutterance of breath.
