spoken

the sweet scent of lilac

the taste of honey

the touch of silk

and the sight of sunset

 

all can be held

together as one

together in one

as words

 

for G-D spoke

and it was

 

the creation of a world

 

the word became flesh

and those words

saved mankind

 

for two say "I do"

and become one.

 

For words entice

words stir up

words reject

words tear down

words lift up

words forgive

and words heal

 

our tongue boasts

for our tongue can kindle

a fire

 

it is the tongue

that can defile all its members

and set our course

ablaze
