The five words in the prompt were used up in the first tanka, but since it had set up a thought process, I just continued into three more tankas. It makes more sense, if read in one piece rather than splitting it up.
Words do power thoughts
and become an instrument
to show love or hate.
Whether I speak or write,
I manage to reach the world.
So all pervasive
and encompassing is it,
to bring the whole world
within my reach to impress
or alienate from me.
I had it in me
but how would it have reached you
touched your existence,
without a medium
and my articulation?
Was it me or you,
just the circumstances which
united us?
a thought that touched another.
beyond time and space.
