Words….
Some sprinkle words like fairy dust…turning all things magical……
Some use words like a bureaucrat…using only that which is required…
Some give new meaning to them….showing you a different side to the story….
Some throw it upon you like so much filth…like garbage that has turned rotten…
Some weave a spell………beckon you into a world that is so beautiful…
Some invite you to share in their passion …….words breathing fire and burning all evil…….
Some words are a gentle tap on your shoulders,as you turn around, there is a stranger who seems oh so familiar….
Some chant spells and charm you in ,even as you yearn to understand all that has been said…..
Some remind you gently of beautiful lessons forgotten ….and of things unseen…..
Some who tell a whole story of memories left behind…..and of a future that’s just visible..
Some words make dreams come true….dreams you never even knew..
Some force you to stop and ponder…..seeing all that’s visible and more….
Some who lay bare their souls ….so honestly and with nary a care……
Some whose words are searing and burn all in their path..
Some who seem incomprehensible because they are from a different world..
Some words are frivolous,treating you with disdain……
Some speak from the heart and you are charmed to the core…
Some who fight your battles for you just as you have given up hope….
Some who speak in pain and of a future uncertain……
Some who guide you gently…on to the right path…
Sometimes just listen……sit down..take a deep breath and listen….listen to what I am trying to say…..strain your ears to hear the sounds that don’t come out of me…silence is healing…silence is golden..silence is spiritual ….silence is a balm for my soul…can you not hear all that I yearn to tell you?Such emotions churning inside…..why can’t you speak my language?How can you not understand what my silence says?
“Words are alive; cut them and they bleed.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Words can heal or words can hurt….use them with care…
First in a random series on the effect of words (or their absence)in our life…
Words.. are everything!
And they are nothing.. it depends on who is using it.. and how
And silence.. acc to me is not golden.. for when silence speaks.. not many listen..
This is vintage Indyeah…
wah wah…
yes words are alive.. all around us…
and we need to use them with care…
and i believe that words are communicated even thru silence… but those words are just not hearable…
but winnie is right…. not many listen to that
Everyone wants to speak and no one wants to listen, that is why you hear the din all around you all the time.
Words, chosen with care and listened to with as much care again, are more potent than any other medicine. beautiful post, Indyeah.
“Words can heal or words can hurt….use them with care…”
Exactly. We can’t undo that.
Very well written “Kavitri”…words are sometimes inadequate too…
Wow! Indyeah, you’ve got a great way with words, and powerful observation skills, too!
Winnie:-beautifully and aptly said…”Words.. are everything!
And they are nothing.. it depends on who is using it.. and how
”
nothing is more true!
and silence yes…is not golden at times…oh but at times silence speaks and how..:))watch this space for more…:))
((hugs))
Ajit:-:D..thank you..glad to be back.:)).
words are alive aren’t they….and yet so many of us forget that…even me…
they need to be used like the most tender treasure..:))
”and i believe that words are communicated even thru silence… but those words are just not hearable…
but winnie is right…. not many listen to that”:))
like I told Winnie watch this space:)))
Sagarone:-”Everyone wants to speak and no one wants to listen, that is why you hear the din all around you all the time. ”
you have put it in a nutshell…yes everybody wants to talk and no one wants to listen…:))
”Words, chosen with care and listened to with as much care again, are more potent than any other medicine. ”
I loved this description of words….
yes,words can heal and how…thank YOU for sharing these:))
Solilo:-yes,Solilo..its hard to take back words spoken in anger…in the heat of the moment….words are so so fragile..and yet so strong….they have a world inherent in them…
((hugs))but we know our words well right?:))
Vinod Sir:-:)))
Kavitri!!I want to jump some and whoop!!:))
thank you so much…
Manju:-Thank you for such generous words:))…((hugs))
Yeah! Words. Most powerful Tool. In the hands to Buddha created Buddhism and in the hands of Hitler created a holocaust. Kinda a scary.
‘I’ is the word
Wah , wah aur wah . How do you do it ? That was so beautifully expressed . I bet if your soul could be painted , it would be a masterpiece . Abhilasha jee , aap mahan hai .
p.s. Did you get the mail I sent you ?
My experience says words are inadequate… As a poet puts it “Lafz kahaan jazbon ke saani hote hain”
Some words are a gentle tap on your shoulders,as you turn around, there is a stranger who seems oh so familiar….
aaah …
*smiles*
Well well…. words at times fail us…. but still we have to come up with something…
This is beautifully written… delicately crafted… magically woven and is really divine to read !!!!
Chirag:-yes….seen in that context it indeed is…this is what I meant when I said earlier that words can soothe,can heal…and also have the power/capability to make one’s blood boil…this is why words are something that should be used really really responsibly…and not just thrown about without having any knowledge of their meaning…
Vishesh:-’I’ indeed is..:)…but what kind of a word?:))
and how are the exam preparations going on kiddo?:))
Kislay:-:D..thank you..:))
thank you…have doubts about the masterpiece though:D…
LOL@aap mahaan hain…arre itna upar mat chadaiye Kislay jee ki zameen na dikhe..:D
yes rcvd the second mail…have to read it…will do it in a bit..:)
Ashvini:-”Lafz kahaan jazbon ke saani hote hain”
wah Ashvini ji!bilkul sahi farmaya..:)bilkul sateek baat kahi aapne..:)
par ye toh unke liye jo apne hain ya apne se lagte hain…:)
unka kya jo abhi ajnabee hain?
ya shaayad itne kareeb nahin?:)
un sabhi ke liye toh lafzon ka istemaal karna hi padega….
bhaavnaaon ki abhivyakti ke liye lafz behad zaroori hain…:)
lafzon par ek dost ne farmaaya hai…:)
”do chaar lafz kahake main Khaamosh ho gayaa
vo muskuraa ke bole bahut bolate ho tum”
Dhiren:-:))aww…thank you…so much!
”This is beautifully written… delicately crafted… magically woven and is really divine to read !!!!”

Wonderful Indyeah!!!!
/*silence is healing…silence is golden..silence is spiritual ….silence is a balm for my soul…can you not hear all that I yearn to tell you?Such emotions churning inside…..*/
I love to be in for sometime to understand it
Words at times magical.. taking us to a different world…
Read it twice and my state is like, “Some chant spells and charm you in ,even as you yearn to understand all that has been said…..”. Words are but an expression of one’s thoughts. I was reading your words to get to your thoughts when you wrote them. Very, very beautifully put across.
Kanagu:-
)thank you so much!:)yes words have worlds within them..
Thank you for the words that you have given…:))
JP Sir:-
Really glad that you dropped in..:)
Thank you so much for your words sir!:)they brought a smile to my face:):)
“If you cannot understand my silence, you can never understand my words”
So said someone, I forget who..
And that has been a source of great inspiration, and comfort a lot of times 
What you have captured in this lyrical, lilting paean to words and silences is just this:
You understand both well, and can strum the chords with both
This was so beautifully poetic too, that I wish I had more than words to tell you, how much it moves! A marvel of a thought and construct and expression!

Usha Pisharody:-”If you cannot understand my silence, you can never understand my words”…you said it all.:))
…oh how and why silence is a thing most powerful…I simply knew if someone could understand..it would be you…:))
((hugs)))for all the words …new and more melodious to read that you gift me every time…
I get lost in all that you say…lilting paen…melodious…strum the words….*happy,happy grins*
aww…((hugs)))
Aren Tyler:-
