Proverbs 18:4

Drawn out of deep waters,

the air hits my soaked skin

with a calming chill.

Uneasy to forget the path

that led to the miry depths

without foothold for aid.

Surrounded, engulfed by

that flood.  Swift to sink

with the weight of hate.

Uneasy to reopen a mouth

that unleashes hurricanes,

with words that carry with

them the rush of a heart's

murky purpose.

For me this was really profound, I particularly liked these lines:
"Swift to sink
with the weight of hate."........................So true and very well put.

Great stuff here :)

It's so hard to hide intentions when the mouth flows with unneeded words.
I believe I am there on a daily basis...

"Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks"

Pointed words "Uneasy to reopen a mouth that unleashes hurricanes".
"The rush of a heart's murky purpose"... so many favorite lines, but I must end before I over-speak.
Well done.
