The power of words.
The souls we build. The hearts we break. The feelings we soothe. The judgments we make.
Power to create. Power to destroy.
Wonderful. Colorful. Terrible. Words.
Words that reflect our inner impressions. Words that slip without intention. Words impacting those around us. Words revealing cloaked ambitions.
Words that heal. Words that wound. Words that escape to release the tension.
Words that burrow deep within us.
Returning and reminding us. Shaping and molding us.
Echoing our victories. Mocking our pain and disclosing our shame.
Leaving us silenced. Leaving us silent.
Words.
I am grateful for the power of words and, even more, for those who choose to use them kindly.
