...Mightier than the sword?

...Mightier than the sword?

Nature has power.
Emotions are powerful.
Love has the greatest power.
Words have powerĀ  to change.
Love has the power to drive despair and, likewise,rekindle it
Love creates life, destroys life.
Love recaptures a living force that brings a fragile survival.
We are powerless to loveā€¦..
As is the moon when in the presence of the powerful sun,
yet unaware that its power can reduce all about it Ā to smouldering nothingness.
We cower in obeisance to the natural majesty of natureā€™s ravishing beauty..
Yet we reel, dementedly, when faced with the obscenity of the same powers destructive rampage,
Fire destroying all it encounters, with no mercy or regretā€¦
Itā€™s blustering winds ripping hearts and homes apart.
We are powerless to natureā€¦.
Swamped by feelings of despair, joy, anger, fear
We fight the dark monsters of our psyche and try to make some order of them,
when faced with dark despots who are emotionless to our own emotions.
Clutching at air, breathing in a vacuum, lifeblood draining relentlessly.
We face ordeals more grievous that emotions Ā ever want to soothe.
Joy come briefly but fleetingly.
We have no defence to emotionsā€¦
Love has the power to drive, despairing love, yet, likewise, rekindle it
Love creates life, destroys life.
Love recaptures a living force that brings a fragile survival.
We are powerless to loveā€¦
Words are just a whisper, spoken softly with love.
Words are a torrent, cutting flesh and spirit with barbarity.
Words make and break pacts, seals and destroys trust
Words are memory makers and destroyers.
Use them with care, with respectā€¦
Use them to fulfil a destiny and build an Empire.
Make each one a monument to the sanity of man,
and a lasting balm to mankinds troubled soul
