How so true...words said in anger without a thought and in haste does leave a scar for the one receiving it and as days pass by those very words become a regret to the one who shot it out!

Yet words that help and lift a spirit will always be a light in a person's life for it carries them through even in the harshest winter.

Then again this is life, we learn from our mistake and carry with us a bag of lessons...

Its so good to see you writing again and it gives me plenty to think, feel and even write...thank you :)

This is (as always) well written and rhymes with great imagery.

William,

This is an excellent and thoughtful little write, with no little amount of perception.
I suppose these ripples that cause tidal waves could also be thought of as the butterfly effect, whereby a small breeze created from a butterfly's wings can go on and escalate causing mass disturbances elsewhere.
Whatever we say and whatever we do has consequences; just because we regard them as small, perhaps, doesn't mean they don't have altogether bigger consequences elsewhere.

This is very good.

All the very best,

Ben

William, your poems always are so meaningful and have such a good message to them. This is so very true, people will so thoughtlessly throw out words or seemingly harmless actions and not give a thought to them but it could be something that effects someone for a lifetime. This really gives the reader something to think about.
