Are we just words?

are we just words

and a pause or two

are we just characters in a line

to be read and forgotten

are we just words

said spoken recited

like a child who takes his turn

reading aloud the words of The Bard

robotic stammering on the cold read

frigid and unfeeling

lacking cadence and time

are we just words

whispered but not felt

promises not kept

lies told to your eye

are we just words

that will echo for a moment

and slip away, swallowed

by the chasm that is time

vast and unyielding before us

so far above and below us

are we just words, after all

that was epic, simply epic.
