Words

There is this funny thing about alphabets...
from the letters they contain
can be created
words of love and happiness...
words of hatefulness and pain.

Words of anger
words of spite
words that can...the soul...destroy.

Words of wonder
words of beauty
words that fill the heart...with joy.

Which means:
it’s up to those of us who speak and write them
to choose word with kindness...
not abuse them...
not only in our choice of words...
but how we choose to use them.

Inspired Write

I try to find the good in words and then the world happens to my vocabulary and I'm off on a tangent. New Year's resolution (get a colonoscopy done and write kinder, gentler, more joyous poetry). Thanks for the range - allets -
