When words are not needed

Words are salt to the wounds, when the cut runs deep,

Not a necessity for a broken spirit,Words are redundant when the heart is grieving,

Often it add insult than offer some healing.

Sometimes what we need is a tap at the back,

A silent company or a gentle hug,

Words of compassion may add glimmer of hope,

But most often than not, lenghty words never work.

Spoken useless words;words we cannot take back,

The better left unsaid, that utter in a snap,

It will cut like a blade in a single stab,

Will add more injury than to fill the gap.

Learn to be silent when words are not needed,

practice tact of the tongue, but open up the ears,

A subtle touch of hands,and an eye that intent,

A shoulder to lean on, when words are not needed.
