Words Are Like Delicate Flowers
Words are like delicate flowers
Blossom like roses
Roses that hide their thorns
Sometimes, they have an intention
Yet, nurtured by indifference
To speak not a word is an option
Yet, in the garden of silence
Words grow like weeds
Bloom in lies in the garden of silence
And so, not to alter the nature of things
As every flower blooms in colours and scents
Every word blooms in sounds, melodies, and harmonies
Words leave a message that lingers through the days
Through the years
Words go ahead of us
They live in the future
And so, we stay behind while they journey
Carried by the wind to never return
And they are so brittle
Words are like a delicate flower
Like a fragile love
We can hurt words, give them another meaning
Words can be strong in the thoughts
Yet they may become fragile on the tongue
Soothing in the mouth of the wise
Disturbing in the mouth of the fool
Words know their master
As flowers know their gardener
And so, in their blooming
Words can adorn a wedding or a funeral
Bring in love
Bring in hate
And as flowers do, words bloom, wither and die
Words bloom when describing an idea
And wither and die, when heartbroken, we cry.
