lifted
on life-giving breath
or sprinkled
like stardust memories
across an opiate page
not
abracadabra
nor
Penumbra Umbra
Penumbra
common words
we speak
we write
nest in young minds
ideas and thoughts
shape our world
inspire shifts
in paradigm
echoes of hatred
trigger avalanche
of death
expressions of love
spin the cosmic wheel
your words will return
to haunt?
or help?
do not toss magic
recklessly
create pain, terror,
nightmares, tears
focus your intent
wisely
craft hope, dreams
laughter, smiles
words
ripple
unending
