After

After the noise stops

everything is quiet

and I think

this is what I wanted

when in fact

I don’t want this at all

Words-A Reaction Poem

Words spoken poorly

like a flame to gasoline

what started as a spark

Burst into flames.

Words spoken poorly

can’t be taken back

and will spread like a wild fire

unless extinguished with

mercy, grace, and love.

Forgiveness is divine

and love covers a multitude of sins.
