Power- in a Word

Words are water They flow and fall Evaporate Spoken or written They move on But like water They can hurt They can flood, Drown and erode Away at a heart Cutting down into The soul and Forming canyons of hurt Or valleys of pain words can't be taken back hurricanes can be forgotten but the effects still remain water can drip from the heavens spurting life up from the ground so to can words spoken with love bring life to barren lands
