Words
by Heather Pease
Should be taken and examined upon finger tips
Drank until drunk upon the beauty of each syllable
Should be whispered on bared souls
Marry people to each other’s minds
Words
Should be considered as if they are a cure
Contemplated intensely so you can see the beauty that they form
Paint the color of the heavens and wind
Should heal the broken heart, body, and mind
Words
Should be held in reverence of their power
Speak when not spoken
Be expressed through a knowing glance
And spoken with integrity…. always
Words
Should titillate the recesses of your mind
Fill the tongue with declarations so big they pour out as a pledge of love
Avoid gossip, tattling and hearsay
Cure tear stained cheeks
Words
Should be respected, admired, worshiped, held in devotion and astonishment
Should be taken slowly, seep into the brain and soul
They should guarantee happiness
And right wrongs instead of poems
