Poem: THE BEAUTY OF WORDS

The beauty of words can take your breath away.

 When quietly and softly spoken.

Like a soft evening breeze.

The whisper of silk against the skin.

Caressing and comforting.

When harsh words are spoken.

The spoken words lose their beauty.

And become like

a raging storm in the night.

 Bullets piercing the heart of whomever

the target may be.

They never miss their mark.

Straight to the heart.

And the impact of words diminishes.
