About words

An utterance that is made real...
Is a creature given life
We are the gods of creation
The conjurers of our own destruction.
The double-edged sword
That both protects and destroys
A invention cursed and blessed
With the magical power
To heal and malign

One may call it marvelous
An interesting condition:
How a sound can reverberate
Through the ears' cavity
Long after the sound is gone
How a word can bounce back and forth
Create an endless echo
In timeless time
Trapped inside forever
By the walls of a hollow heart
Owned by a ghostly soul
