It Doesn’t Take a Hammer

On fire!
Inspire!
Words that invade the soul;
the thoughts held in control.
Lightning bright with a thunderous sound;
but soft  rain falling to the ground.
The soil of mind
is quick to find
What makes it grasp and grow;
is not the fast but slow:
into thinking
slowly sinking.
