Words...My Wealth...

I draw the first blood in this battle of bloggers...Bring it on...!!!

This is a poem that I wrote around 3-4 years ago, as an amateur wizard of words (which I still think I am :) )... Hope it's as enjoyable to read as it was to write for me...

Learned I yesterday,
That words were the only treasure I did own,
Culled in after years of rigors,
Long ago were its seeds sown,

Alone when I was, they did come to me,
Singing songs never heard so far,
Listening to their voices which none could hear,
I wondered to myself that, blessed was I or just a soul bizarre.

Least expecting them, they did come silently,
Stabbing me hard,they hurt a lot,
I bypassed and surpassed the pain they gave,
As spoken they were by the ones I had long forgot...

Bursting with emotions when I went seeking for them,
Laughing with me...with me they did even cry..
Fear they showed when I was frightened...exclaimed they when I was on a high,
Beyond my brains they appear to me as can't understand them even when harder I try,

Carrying us by means of our thoughts,
Work they do is a grandiose affair,
Stumbling nd fumbling I play with them,
Feeling like a new born in a cradle of (their) care,

Words we use with less lot a care,
forgetting that "HEARTS BROKEN WHEN WORDS ARE SPOKEN...ARE DIFFICULT TO REPAIR..."
