Words Give and Receive

Yes, words are
the magic elixir
embracing the soul,
and words turn objects
into gold.

Do words beat like
the wings
of a restless hummingbird,
while men plot
with sharp draggers
to capture it?

Words teach
us valuable lessons,
because words know how
to give and receive.

Words live
through every hurt,
through every pain,
because, they
have no self-conscious fear
of flight

Do words know how
to give and receive?

The answer is always yes.
