Simplicity Of Words

Words seem outrageously simple;
everyone knows who they are;
giving a mental picture of a dimple;
and, even a tractor or car.

They’re links to every form of thought;
describing the crux of reality;
teaching us all, what must be taught;
describing a face of you and me.

Words; formed in a basement of thought;
through them; allegience is sworn;
surfacing to sound; a voice was wrought;
defining how destiny is born.

Words sometimes seem soft and gentle;
when they’re speaking of love;
they’re a picture of that which is mental;
raindrops of life, from above.

Often words become strident and cruel;
like cold snow; abruptly wind driven;
love turns to hate; in the mind of a fool;
it’s only through love; he’s forgiven.

Words are the blueprint; life’s foundation;
building blocks of all that’s to come;
words, uttered; brought about salvation;
a vocabulary of life; all became one.

In language; all creation became divided;
till a Word; became flesh; above;
to a table, all together; all are invited;
to share in the simplicity of love.
