What did I say and how did I say it?Was the inflection wrong?
Did my tone of voice change the meaning of my words?
Words and meanings set together, yet misshapen and distorted ~
Phrases tumbled from my mouth trying to find
the right cadence,
the right balance,
kind direction instead of stern directives.
where memory’s mist rises as if from a cooling lake,
bulky rememberings worried like beads on a string.
“The weight of your words is more important than the volume of your voice!”
~ Manprit Kaur
