From Our Lips

from our lips
can come the words
that bring hope.
from our lips
can come the words
that say disastor.

one small word
one small sentence
one small paragraph
one big speech
can change lives

from our lips
can cause disastor
can cause mayhem
can cause peace

from our lips
birth the words
of a new begging

words can override
any hit
and make any threat
become empty

from our lips
flow a river
of words
that can change
lives

from our lips
are the chance
to change any soul
and make it turn over
a new leaf

from our lips
anything can come out
but what you choose
to say
is what makes the difference

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,

    scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
