She said a word
in the cool of the night
he heard it wrong
now there’s heat and there’s spite
now a word can be handled
with love and with care
but another can be
flung like a dagger in the air
but the word wedges deeper
than the dagger ever will
it will cut and will carve
to see more than blood spill
oh to be misunderstood
in the heat of the night
no more love understanding
they were ready for a fight
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe

Wonderfully written. The blend of this is a good impact of the words….*sigh…sometimes the words in misunderstanding can very well “cut deep”

Too bad we can live our lives like a small Hollywood sitcom…if we got the lines wrong…we’d just reshoot the shot until it turned out right….but we cannot so sometiimes as in you other poem I read tonight…we long for our youth…when things were simpler…loved both of these poems…you made me recall moments now and in my past…thanks for the array of memories.

it seems sometimes in the heat of the moment our emotion and passion dictates our response…which is not always the best…

Nice, Leslie. Words have such power. They can cut or heal, and the effects can last a lifetime. We would be wise to be cautious how we fling them about.

Sometimes our emotions get the better of us, and the building fire drives us to things we do not really want. In but an instant, words can cut us clean through. As you say:
“but the word wedges deeper
than the dagger ever will”
Well put, and well written. A wonderful, if saddening, poem.

Most associated with the explanations you created, the straightforward blog navigation, the friendships you give support to foster it’s all extraordinary, and it is actually really leading some of our son and the family reason why that subject is definitely entertaining, which is exceedingly essential.
