Words

Words can hurt while words can heal
Words can express how we feel
Words are man made words are real
Words reveal what lies can conceal

Is there nothing more absurd
Than a bird mocking a word
That creatures know when heard
Was man first to create a word?

Healthy as a horse sick as a dog
Some will wake while we sleep like a log
Can we see clearly in dark or fog?
Pure wine waits as we drink the grog

Words and reality can clash or mesh
May we think of when the world was fresh?
Redemption when the word was made flesh
Words may hurt while they heal and refresh
