A promise or bond
should never be broken.
Phrases that are said
cannot go unspoken.
Be careful with thoughts
that escape a shut mouth.
They could stick like glue,
fill peaceful ears with doubt.
The right choice of words
can make someone love you,
contrary to this,
the wrong ones can undo.
As people observe,
minds will jump to believe.
Ears hear the unseen
to cause what is perceived.
When trusting your eyes
to lead you towards truth,
grasp with all senses
to then stumble on proof.
Start to clear resents,
replace poor points of view.
Blissful joy is found,
following inner cues.
