Kind Words

Imagine!
" Kind Words", revealed as piercing bands 
of sunlight  gently melting mist of morning dew.
Shredded strands of light appear blazing 
through leaves blanketing forest deep. 

Restrain bitter words that deny 
the flourishing seed to yield its return. 
Observe, we are better 
when "Kind Words" are spoken.

When,  from a painful sobering voice, 
the soul beckons for repose. 
No respect returned to break the moment in.
for where is the glory in it?

"Kind Words" cleanse! 
Glory won in a word of kindness spoken.

Life, though as short as a breath, 
needs no hand to uproot or wrest. 
To labor upon ones crowded faults, 
proves a shackle to blissful results.

"Kind Words", a gift for thee!

Panagiota Romios Date: 6/22/2025 7:31:00 PM Well i found you Ray, I am a slow one))) There in nothing wrong with this poem. I think you know that I’m a poor that rhymes mostly once in a while I will try reverse, but not really because Ryan kind of keeps me in tune so to speak. I know you know music so you know what I’m talking about.. there’s a certain beat to a poem with rhythm and easier for me to write and find the right words, but I cant in free verse, I feel like I am ice-skating and falling down)) This is FAV for me.
