Words are the arms to my soul
The heart of my matter
The love of my heart
One Simple Word
Connects
Words piece sorrow
They soothe teardrops
A jigsaw of needed words
They bring fury
Cause pain
Regret
To wish
Time could be reversed
Words
One by one
Create song
Loves anxiety
Fills the room
With music
Importantly
Life's alphabet of words
Create love
Is it the words?
Or the way they are spoken?
One Simple Word
Can
Thrill
Torture
Inspire
Give hope
How we must choose
That One Simple Word

The spoken word carries more than ink But either one needs to be chosen wisely
So true. Words can be the deadliest weapon or the warmest hug... and like an arrow they cannot be recalled once they are loosed.

A very thoughtful poem. Words, especially the written word, are special for me. They should always be chosen carefully, especially when it's a single powerful word. If chosen in haste or in anger, or in carelessness, it can cause great pain.
Hi lyn, One of your best most superb poems. All on the power of words the magic of words snf warning not to misuse words for hurting. Kudos. Great to read from you again.
Ancient thought says it was word that was first created; then forms followed. You have expounded the significance of word in our current context in detail in your poem. Enjoyed. Thought-provoking indeed.
