Empty Words

Words flow from my tongue
and eloquence directs the course.
A steady stream of words,
smooth and seamless connections.
I know all the right words
to say in my prayers,
but I'm not too sure
if these prayers are right.

These words seem to float by
as they leave my tongue.
They drift further away
weightless and ungrounded.
Nowhere to land and take root,
these words will never grow.
All of this nonsense are
words - nothing more.

But turn your ears to Him.
Hearken to His Word.
No chorus is louder than His voice,
we just need to listen.
Don't be swept away
by the eloquence, the flow
of man's words, but hold on
tightly to His everlasting Word.

Amen.
