***  Title: Word. ***

It is born from thoughts that tremble before falling to the ground.

Like a seed can grow into life

with roots that cannot be uprooted.

It carries light, but also conceals shadow within itself –

a blade that cuts not the body

but the soul.

Spoken without weight,

it resonates longer than an echo,

settling like dust on the heart.

Sometimes it's like a touch

that soothes wounds,

other times like a fire

that burns the last hope.

Think before you take a risk.

Not every word has to leave your lips.

Not every word deserves to be heard.
