In the depth of waters
Silence reigns
As the wise speak slow
With thoughtful strains
In haste
Words may falter
Lead astray
But calmness in speech
Keeps harm at bay
When the heart is heavy
Share with care
Too much sorrow spoken
Hard to bear
Promises unkept
Best left unsaid
Humility in tales
Gracefully spread
Speak with kindness
Let Your words be light
Guide with humor
Through the darkest night
For in the art of speech
There's gentle might
In every word
A chance to make it right
Speak not of futures
Unknown, unseen
With respect and patience
Keep Your slate clean
In others' tales
Tread lightly
Hold Your peace
In Your own
Seek counsel
Let worries cease
So let's converse
With hearts open and true
In the art of speech
Let kindness ensue
For every word holds power to renew
In the art of the ancients
Find the cue
Speak with kindness
Let Your words be light
Guide with humor
Through the darkest night
For in the art of speech
There's gentle might
In every word
A chance to make it right
For words once poured
Like water, can't return
A lesson from the past
We all must learn
In the silence, listen
And discern
In the wisdom of old
Let Your heart
Speak with kindness
Let Your words be light
Guide with humor
Through the darkest night
For in the art of speech
There's gentle might
In every word
A chance to make it right
Speak with kindness
Let Your words be light
Guide with humor
Through the darkest night
For in the art of speech
There's gentle might
In every word
A chance to make it right
