Vocable Poem by Arik Fletcher

Words are very powerful,
This cannot be denied,
Once spoken they are tangible,
And can never be decried.

Words are like the stars above,
Uncountable and vast,
Once given out in hate or love,
Their light is ever cast.

Words are born from fantasy,
They come from deep inside,
Once written they are history,
And never more can hide.

Words are far from innocent,
Though we may claim they are,
Once shared they may be reticent,
But still can leave a scar.

Words are more than poetry,
Well crafted they might be,
Once heard they gain autonomy,
And stand for all to see.

Words are all our destiny,
When all of this is through,
Once carved into posterity,
To live on after you.
