The weight of words
Words spin circles in my mind—
some carrying love,
some carrying fear.
They can tear the soul apart,
or stitch it back together
with life, joy, and peace.
We eat the fruit we speak;
the harvest tells its story.
Life and death
rest quietly
on the tongue.
There are words that praise,
words that comfort,
and others that carve deep rifts
where light once lived.
A heart broken by words
shrinks from being comforted.
Foolish sentences
can tear down a whole house—
our own hands
doing the wrecking.
Who can I trust?
Who holds the words of life?
Truth sometimes wounds,
yet spoken in love
it heals.
Your words I hide in my heart.
Your words light the path beneath my feet.
Your words breathe acceptance,
mercy,
love.
So I come searching—
What do You whisper
in the stillness of the night?
What light do Your words reveal
in the dark corners of my heart?
Touch my lips—
teach them to praise.
Give me Your words of life
when shadows gather close.
Let Your truth sink deep
into the quiet places
of my soul.
Teach me to listen.
Teach me to hear.
Teach me to speak
Your words.
