Beautiful Words

Beautiful words...alive,
Formed in the mind.
And sweetly put together,
Like metaphors - rich, red, wined.

All feathery in tufts of white,
Just like a shining ray.
With tinkling bells set free,
On tongues throughout the day.

Words of praise and honor,
Are joyfully to hear.
They rise and fall upon the air,
Like little sounds of cheer.

Love bears forth in harmony,
It has the sweetest tone.
And runs directly to the heart,
Its message is well-known.

O beautiful words upon the air,
So soft...so bright...so new.
Love words formed within the mind,
And spoken just for you.
