Power of Words

By Stanley T. Crawford

Words paint a picture of the calm blue sky,

Words paint a picture of the cold white snow,

Words paint a picture of the still black night,

Words can move, sway, heal, or anguish the soul.

Words narrate the work and rest of your day,

Words narrate the discussions with your mate,

Words narrate the fun and frolic of the night,

Words can move, sway, heal, or anguish the soul.

Words describe the men and women dead from war,

Words describe the lion chasing its prey,

Words describe the hawk devouring a mouse,

Words can move, sway, heal, or anguish the soul.

Words are used to create relationships,

Words are used to repair relationships,

Words are used to destroy relationships,

Words can move, sway, heal, or anguish the soul.
