Savoring the Journey
April 14, 2006
Words. . . of fire, on fire, afire are more than words.

Words of fire

their potency,
more power than
poison possesses

no need for blazing
when seeds of hate can simply
smolder
lurking, lighting fires

brewing up the seething smoke
that chokes the life from hope


***


words of fire

can smolder for years,
hidden
or forgotten

until they are found again
stumbled upon

ignited,

unleashed into flames of fury


***


words on fire
blaze
unapologetic


***


words afire
burn hundreds of years
losing no power
nor brightness
