KiraFulks on Nostr: A MAN IS HIS WORDS A man is his words and his actions that follow in passage of time ...
A MAN IS HIS WORDS
A man is his words and his actions that follow
in passage of time his deeds he will swallow
the whispers of truth or the lies that he weaves
his essence revealed in the life that he lives.
Promises spoken in the dark of the night
may turn to gifts in the dawn’s early light
or vanish like mist in the warmth of the sun
unseen and forgotten when all’s said and done.
In kindness or wrath in wisdom or jest
a man’s heart is known by the paths that he sets
not just in speaking but in what he has shown
in quiet reflections where true self is known.
For words are blown in the winds of our fate
but actions reveal what those words truly state
in echoes of acts both the grand and the small
a man finds his worth in his rise and his fall.
So let not your speech be a hollow refrain
but a promise sincere with honor regained
for a man is his words and his actions that follow
in the passage of time he will find joy or sorrow.
