// keeping watch //

sometimes i have words that spill from me like a force 

uncontrollable 

and other times i have no words,

just silence

i love words

and i love silence.

but what i hate is neither.

the the words that are empty,

frivolous.

the words that spill without self control, 

thoughtless.

foolish human.

you only have so many opportunities to fill that silence with

worthwhile conversation.

so stop with the mindless

words

the predictable,

forgettable,

conversation.

that makes

my

head

hurt.

and that makes me cringe

with disappointment,

when i hear it leave my mouth. 

here's to filling those opportunities 

with words that will leave an imprint on 

the mind;

with conversation that will honor God,

and lift the spirit of the ones 

listening.
