Words

Cast me upon the waters

Toss me to the wind

I am never seen

Into the ether I spin

But hold such power

Woman, child and men

I curve about the mountains

And settle in the streams

I run across the plains

And climb the forest trees

I dance in flowered meadows

And dive into the seas

I seep into universe

Gliding among the stars

I move about in silence

Sliding in between creations

Caressing the unseen

And witnessing the start

I have the power to maim

To heal, create and drive insane

I am easily remembered

And even more so forgotten

I hold the power to feed

I am the catalyst of change

I can be idle or overwrought

Never touched, held or caught

I can bind the strongest human

And be a hopeless, dark cell

I can pierce the thickest armor

Casting the shadow of hell

I can fill everything with love

Giving hope, peace and light

I can embrace, giving warmth

Making laughter, smiles, friends

I create bonds of the heart

Love that last to the end

I am your words

That which you speak

Use me wisely each day

I am what you say

You make the choice

And I follow your guide

Keep me in or spit me out

You hold the power, never doubt

I show your condition

Your spirit, soul and mind

I reveal all of you

Nothing left to find

I grow into space, the in-between

I am you and you are me

Be wise and true I plead

Once I am free I cannot return

We can be life, or be death

I depend on your next breath
