Empty Like Air (A Poem)

Words left the mouth easy
Yet is it from the heart?
Or simply like the wind
That blow without reason
Promises, will they be kept?
Or will it be words
Without weight nor substance
To be swept under the rag
To be dashed and broken
Gone after uttering
Without being grasped
Totally empty, like air

"It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and broken promises" - Chief Joseph
