The Power of Words

 

Great power entails 

great responsibility.

 Poetry can make
a lie sounds true and 

a wrong seems right.

It can bend the truth,

It can make truth untrue.

It can make illusion real.

Its power is subtle 

but beyond measure 

beyond the scope of the simple

and of fools.

Beware of poets,

they are masters of words 

that paints emotion with beauty, 

blinding colors and intensity.

Sometimes, 

their reason to write

is not to make others understand

but only to make them think.

What entertains is good.

But nothing empty 

can make anyone full,

truly happy and complete.

.... 

 

Focus your heart and mind 

to the One who truly loves you 

and will never leave you. 

He is real. One of His names 

is Happiness.
