Motion in Words

We wage everyday battles, skirmishes and
show admiration, love, anxiety
and above all, freedom,
words, the engine of motion in our lives
evolution has given a unique weapon
to share our fear, our joy with people
emotively, eloquently we wield this weapon,
to our utmost benefit,
a baby’s first words, or
a conversation with a supreme being
or just a friendly gab.
words have meaning, versatile dialects,
and none of us a master of all
so many words, and just yet reason,
for our tongue holds sway
over our motion in life
towards our march,
to where each of us meant to go.
