I Deal In Words by Juliet Thomas

 

 

I deal in words, the flutter of notes

High pitched, low drawl, hand-written scrawl

Connection exchanged

 

I credit in words, the currency rich

A Thank You, A Bless You!

Compliments paid

 

I withdraw in words, sometimes miserly

Few spoken, broken  

Words fail

 

I spend in words, sometimes too much

Rushing, gushing instead of shushing

Listen carefully

 

I tip in words, a cheque to help

Suggestions, recommendations,

Selling belief

 

I save in words, precious treasure

Nurture until ready, steady

Go

 

I bank on words, to tell the truth

Stand up, voice up

To be heard
