Words Are Forever Poem by DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK

Words are forever
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
They look not;
Worth even a cent
But things made and broken
When their presence on them left
And look even
As lifeless as autumn
As cold as winter
As hot as summer
When used
In reckless manner
The day will dawn
But not too soon
And night will be gone
But not too soon
Will have impact
Different on men different
Sweet words bring sweetness
Bitter bitterness
Dirty dirtiness
Every word has its fragrance
With all your heart
With all your soul
And with all your might
Hurl them like flowers
And not like spears
That might pierce
The heart of your dearest ones, my dear
And cause to bleed and bleed
Never to stop ever
In summer’s night
In the wood still and silent
While being with Nature for a moment
I saw a leaf rustled and fell
And stirred my soul a word to speak
And then came a whisper from the tree
Speak my dear speak
Like me like Nature…………..
