the weight of a word spoken
can carve hollows in hearts unseen
or cradle the trembling body whole
what you do in the quiet moments
when no eyes are watching your hand
defines the soil you leave behind
deeds are prayers whispered into time
rippling out through unfamiliar waters
pause before each word you place down
remember the ache of a careless step
the harm of moving without direction
to practice justice is to hold steady
to see the world not as fleeting shadows
but as a mirror of your intentions
be mindful of every seed you sow here
trees grow even where we forget to look

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction so says Newton's third law of motion. Karma where one's actions determine one's fate in the future. It is all the same modern society calls it justice. A lovely write.
Well put, once it's out, it's out.
Many a careless word has cost lives.
How many relationships ended with the wrong words.
Think before you speak and realize we have two ears and one mouth for a reason. Thanks for sharing your feedback Paul
Brilliant in its thought and beautiful in its expression!
