Porm: The Conundrum of Words

Words
Reflections of feelings
events in a person's life
Their background
history
their home
different words depending
from where they came
but meaning the
exact same thing.
Sometimes flowery
rolling like the hills
abstract yet touching
a poet's spin on
a simple description.
Sometimes precise
zeroing in on the details
with no room for error
under a scientist's
discerning eye.
How else do you
explain the workings
of the mind
of the soul
of the heart
with the goal
of being understood
