There is a great pain in words
And there is also joy.A really moving piece.

Emily Dickinson once said “Words have the power to kill, they also have the power to heal.”
And here it is the former that occurs.

There is nothing quite like the sting of harsh well placed words. We humans can make weapons out of everything. Still, an ugly truth is less harmful than a pretty lie. Excellent write!

Given the state of the world, there are consequences to actions.
Nice spill.

I don’t want to hide under the blanket.

“Tap the window panes hard”–yes, it seems the only way to get one to notice poetry. Not the favorite genre of so many…
They seem not to want to work a little to find something of value in the words.
