Water is soft
Yet
It can mmake grooves
Upon the Earth
Those grooves
Become mighty rivers
Water is soft
Yet
It can tear down moutains
Tear down trees
Tear down homes
Water is soft
Yet
It can wash away cars
Cause sinkholes
To engulf the land around
When words are soft
They can
Break the hardest of hearts
Turn enemies into friends
Stop the wrath
Stop the rage
When words are soft
They can
Heal the broken heart
Calm the hurtling
Tear down emotional walls

Thanks TONY for well crafted wise words ! The BIBLE says "A soft answer turns away wrath" But
remember water can be hard as well. Hard water causes scum and furs up kettles and pipes. Also remember water (in the form of ice) tore a hole in the side of the Titanic (causing it to sinkj with the loss of hundreds of lives ! Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
Thank you
"It can mmake grooves": correct...
Your poem brought memories of the FUGEES song :
"Killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song."
Personally,it depends from whose mouth the words are coming from...
Thank you

Nicely done! Very perceptive in its approach. The message is well taken. The book of Proverbs speaks of the power of the tongue.
Thank you
