Words
'They're sneaky, deceptive things...'
Words
are sneaky,
deceptive
things.
For some,
they seem to be
perfect,
always managing
to be wise
or profound.
Words
are
fickle.
When spoken,
they are accompanied
by a commitment
that is seldom carried through,
painting their host as untrustworthy.
The soul
is very much
an enemy of words,
for words
are so eager to agree
with the soul,
that they force themselves to be heard.
The soul
is pleased
until it must live up to the things
that the words so naïvely
claimed.
For,
unlike words,
the soul must deal with
the consequences of words
once its opinion has changed.
The soul
may feel
remorse,
or hurt,
or indignation.
Words
feel
nothing.
The only way
the soul
can be free
from the cunning ways
of words,
is when words
become a slave
of the soul.
A rare,
beautiful
circumstance.
Most times,
when one has made words
a slave of the soul,
they come to the realization
that deep in the human heart
it has been that way
since the beginning of time.
