Poetry: Flow Like Water

Our voice flows just like water
Liquid presence washes out stains
Dripping drops of ideas into your brain
Colorless words float in the air

Hitting their target of unsuspecting people
Seeing through to your unforgiving soul
Tones of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and oh
Sometimes when the mood is just right

Our words flow with the coldest conviction
Leaving trails of icicles tattered on your heart
In the loneliest of nights shapeless words
Are heard but not seen, they will be forever felt

When spoken into existence direct or clever
Just like crashing waves onto a shore
Words are powerful in numbers
They give a voice to the poor
