Original DDE™ quadtrych: “Power of Words” by: rob kistner © 10/12/23
I thrust my words into the fire
they scorched and warped and blistered
which made them hot and coarse
too searing to embrace
so I led my words to a raging storm
they soaked and swelled and sagged
which made them bloat with heft
too heavy to hold
then I released my words into the cold
they froze and cracked and splintered
which made them sharp and piercing
too frigid to handle
finally I let my words waft delicately
like the fragrance of flower petals
and sweet they lifted from my heart
and soft they rolled from off my tongue
and light they drifted through the air
set free to float with a quiet prayer
so those they may help can find them there
and pass them on should they wish to share
