Words

With few words 
More is spoken;
Stories layered with meaning 
Shaped to carefully chosen prose,
Painted figuratively stirring feeling;
Words -though blameless in their form-
Do  heavy fall when wrong tone 
Chosen;
Words coined and light of touch
Like feathers
Softly lay
their whispers, 
Covering  hurt with gentle healing
Raising smiles,
Laughing,joking,
Teasing-
Living.
