One Word

Words are like bees

They have honey and vemon

Sometimes they are so sweet

Sometimes as wounding as knives

A word can bring you up

Until you reach the top

Then, you will know

Fame and wealth

Glory and power

A word can knock you down

The fall is so abrupt

That you lose everything you own

You had to turn over your tongue

Before uttering the clumsy word

A word can bother you

All of a sudden it changes your mood

In your mind you keep turning it over

Till it disturbs you

And you feel that your entrails boil

A word can be sharper then a knife

Its cutting is so aching

The liver burns

The eye is hurt with tears

All parts of the body are wounded

As if they are pierced by a sword

A word like wine or a drug

Can make you drunk

And sometimes as raging

As a stormy ocean

Your spirit gets restless

And all your nights are sleepless

A word can heal you

Its echo is your shadow

It gets close to you

And makes you forget your pains

Delighted, you get rid of your fears

The comforting word makes you enjoy life.
