A basket of words
interlaced
interwoven
Wound too tight
spills over and
shatters the air
where silence
once stood
between us
A basket of words
held too long falls
to the ground and
breaks the peace
within us
A basket of words
left unattended
gathers dust and
becomes the cobwebs
of forgetfulness
A basket of words
carried to loosely
become the expletives
when spoken too loud
in anger
A basket of words
can unravel a government
and end in a pandemic
of confusion for the
world’s population
A basket of words
will lose their
significance when
the past is forgotten
A basket of words
are only as good as
the truth that is
spoken.
