It’s not the words
It’s easy to look into pools of caramel,
Oceans of blue,
a sea of green
If only to get lost in a moment
Words flow like wine,
or poison
They can lift up the poignant of spirits
They can crush and ruin the happiest
A spark is created,
then put out too abruptly
It’s not the words
What was said is a lie
What was said is the truth
What is said is said,
There are no take backs
Accommodation of actions is the true meaning of any word
Gestures of good will
Gestures of misfortune
Character is judged on actions,
actions isolate emotions
It’s not the words
He said
she said
they say
it’s the deed
NaPoWriMo2016 is in full swing and I’m loving it! Thank you to Robert Lee Brewer, http://www.writersdigest.com/, for the poetry prompt; “write a what he said and/or what she said poem.”
