In the beginning, was a word
A word set forth into motion in an atmosphere jammed with disaster and commotion
And behold, the construction and formation of a whole universe laid in the utterance of simple but powerful word
See, words tend to remind us of how much power we possess as far as our worlds are concerned
They are the most powerful instrument and tool we have and could ever possess
To me, words sound like a whirlwind of energy encapsulated in phrases that carry the magnitude to kill or heal
As simple as they may seem, a single atom in a word can penetrate past insecurities and fears and in the same way crush through the walls of self-esteem and confidence
Words sound to me like an encyclopaedia of perceptions.
They are clouds and a fleeting shadow cast upon the landscape of a life.
Have you ever thought of the weight of a word?
That falls in the heart like a melody from birds singing on a sunny day,
That gladdens the springtime of memory
Colors do fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure
Words are containers that ooze out energies in diverse dimensions
In our thoughts and words, we create our weaknesses and as well as our strengths.
They make whole even to those hearts once broken
They bring hope and restoration to destinies once forsaken
To shame or to liberate lies in words spoken
To shatter dreams or to energize and revive them lies in them
Words can light fires in the minds of men as well as wring tears from the hardest hearts
Once spit out into the universe they can never be reversed
They carry the capacity to take you, prisoner, wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, pierce your entire being, and keeps numb your thoughts
They submerge us in our feelings and give us the power to self-destruct
Our lives are the reflection of the words we express which equates to us living in the shadow of what we hear and say, for they sure do manifest and come to life
All our words are but crumbs that fall from the feast of the mind and meditations of the heart
They are an expression of our thoughts and what we consistently dwell on and digest
This takes us to the famous Bible quote, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks’’
Our thoughts can be so seductive and hypnotic to the very extent that they absorb our attention and we ultimately become what we think
They are a galaxy of endless possibilities as well as negativity if permitted
When we know the power, they protect the soul, guards the heart, and revives our spirits.
Words are considered to be a mystery
They are a gateway of expressing feelings, emotions, and tension
But the human tongue is an enigma that few can master It constantly strains to break out of its cage and if it is not tamed, it runs wild and causes regrets alongside depression and grief.
A lot can be said unintentionally but even so, immediately they cut deep, forming scars that could take a lifetime to heal
Words are seeds that do more than just blow around,
They land in our hearts and sprout into bitterness or gladness right from the root.
We all are a summation of those words heard and even those left unspoken
The unspoken can activate and deactivate energies within
In us lies the ultimate change we desire to walk into
The alterations of life rest on the weight of what we release into the atmosphere
And so, just maybe,
Your whole life could take its biggest twist by just declaring positivity and wholeness
The potential lies right before you Inscribed on paper
Drafted in your thoughts and through the hedges of our hearts
But probably even closer,
Right on our lips.
