Today's word is "hortatory" ... HAWR-tuh-tawr-ee ... urging to some course of conduct or action; exhorting; encouraging: a hortatory speech. (Dictionary.com)
Metamorphasis
So, what will it take,
As through our days we go,
What changes will we make,
To tease joy out of our woe?
What hortatory phrases,
Will speak us into motion,
Wake us from our daze,
Drag order from commotion?
Every word we welcome in,
Through our eyes or ears,
Will rise out of the din,
And change to love or fear.
