Winsome wistful words

Words
Slip out unwittingly
When no attention is given
It's a waste when in haste
Giving out good intentioned advice
Only worth is for a wood pyre

Words wrong when
Not waiting
On another's life song
Ignoring the weight
On the teller of the tale

Words wound and deceive
Wound around souls
Like wrapping paper
And a bow
Tightly wired
Ready to be opened

Winsome words
Waiting for instruction
Wisdom in the waiting
For the right time

Wrestling with words
When words are not enough
