The Power of Our Words
by R.E. Slater
Spake Adam -
In the hurry of the day,
In the brevity of life,At the dawn of creation,
Before the Tree of Life,
“Giveth to me the power of your words…”
To bind or create
Make dead or alive
Burden or uplift
Withhold or provoke
Bury or resurrect
Expire or inspire
Imprison or release
Prevent or excite
Dissuade or arouse
Divide or multiply
To add or subtract
Fortify or offend
Declare or hide
Begin or end
Wake or sleep
Enrich or impoverish
Transpire or cease
Help or hurt
Heal or harm
Transform or change
Spake the Voice of the Almighty -
Like the oceans of turbulent seas,
Like the storm in thunderous deeps,
On birdsong as gentle as the breeze,
As love ever bent in tender kiss,
“Bless now the power of My words…”
