Words and Sword

Words

Words spoken

may soon pass away

and forgotten be,

But when spoken

in love and kindness,

are like beautiful flowers,

and even though

they fade and die

from conscious memory,

their fragrance lives on

embedded in the

deeper mind –

forever.

 Dick Innes 

Pen and Sword

The Pen is mightier than the Sword

For though the Sword is stronger

It lives on only as long as the welder

The written word last longer

The Sword is weaker than the Pen

When the swordsman dies, it's gone

But if you strike a writer down

The words he penned live on

The Sword can only fight body

It rusts and crumbles with time

And wouldn't it be more satisfying

To conquer your enemies mind?

The world would be a better place

If Pen fought all the words of man

To conquer not bodies by Sword

But minds by the written hand

The Pen is mightier than the Sword

For thus it's life is longer

Swords are steel, hate and blood

Strange that words are stronger

Hamlet

Shakespeare

And lay your hands again upon my sword:
Never to speak of this that you have heard,
Swear by my sword.

Symbolic Swords

The sword is a alchemic symbol of purification. Here we experience the metaphorical sword cleanly piercing the spiritual soul of man. This symbolic action sacrifices physical bondage to release a path to ethereal (enlightened) freedom.

In Buddhism the sword symbolism deals with discrimination of thought. In this light, swords cut away ignorance. 

Excalibur 

King Arthur’s supernatural power has been attributed to the enchanted Sword in the Stone named Clarent. According to the story, Clarent is previously the sword of King Uther Pendragon, the father of King Arthur. He plunged it into a block of rock by magic and before he gasped his last breath, he swore an oath that only the true and rightful king can pluck it.

 The young Arthur, who was only in his teens at that time, succeeded in pulling it out, earning him the kingdom and the throne. The same Sword in the Stone was used as personal weapon of King Arthur and from that time on, it was known as the Excalibur.

You think that i don't even mean
a single word i say 
It's only words and words are all I have
to take your heart away
