Words can be soft
And sweet
Words can hard
And strong
Words can be mightier
Than the sword.
For whether
We speak
Or suppress
Words
Emotions and feelings
Are still created
That affects us.
So how do we create words
That are meaningful
And helpful in life?
Do we just say what we think?
Without any filters
Then the words might
Sting and be hurtful
To ourselves or another.
Do we consider every word?
Before we speak
And then words become
Constrictive
Not allowing us to speak
Our truth at all.
Tis a difficult dilemma
We encounter everyday
Learning to find balance
In every situation
When words come into play.
Open your heart
Be receptive
To kindness and love
Be in its’ presence
Before we speak
Allowing words
To easily flow
From the heart.
Using the right tone
Choosing the right words
Will become second nature
As we mindfully learn
The language of love.
