This poem is very simple, but in a moment of loosened thought, it poured out so easily. I wrote it out of the guilt I felt for hurting my husband and child with the words that I said some years ago. It also acts as a reminder. Once they're out there, there is no gettin' those words to disappear, as if they'd never been said. I'm writing this out of memory, as I don't have the words in front of me...I wrote this some 3 years ago.

Unsaying Words Said

Usaying words said
Like undying a rose dead
Unsinging a song sung
Unringing a bell rung
Unsinking a ship sunk
Unthinking a thought thunk
Unflowing a rivers flow
Unknowing what we know

As the moon cannot outshine the sun, unsaying words said cannot be done.
