Damage tender, unprotected places.
Ferocious storms of icy words
Wound with sharp weapons,
Silver-glazed pellets,
Leaving punishing bruises.
Blasts from blizzards of frozen words
Herald heaps of fresh snow crystals,
Beautiful at first appearance,
Yet carrying a killing cold.
Devastating hurricanes of words
Roar with fury,
Unmindful of destruction,
Both at once and later.
Turbulent tornados of words
Rampage powerfully,
Leaving only memories
Of all that once was whole.
Gentle storms of words
Sprinkle softest of healing drops.
Mists of life-giving words
Grant supplies of vibrant energy
To that which was dying,
While promoting new growth.
Tender showers of words
Provide hope to the hopeless,
Comfort to the despairing,
Nourishment to the needy.
Sun-drenched droplets of words
Furnish light to the darkness,
Warmth to the numbness of cold,
Special sweetness to the senses.
Fresh spring storms of gentle words
Offer an aroma of kindness
To replace the stench
Of deadly storms of fierce words.
