Words! Poem by Mehreen Tahir

Words are not just spoken by people;
they are echoes of the heart and mind.
Words are like waves of an ocean,
that wash away the shore.
Words are like raindrops,
that make fertile the land.
Words are like rays of the sun,
that brighten the world.
Words are flowers that bloom,
and bring freshness by their fragrance.
Words can bring a smile,
and even a tear or two.
Words can be spiteful,
but can be beautiful too.
And words are to break the silence,
have a powerful impact,
are more stronger than the strongest action,
are inspiring and ever-lasting!
