love the people you meet – v2

I remember well
your words of warning
spoken in silence
on a written page only;
I understand well
your reluctance to expose
to rip open the scar tissue
to let the chips fall where they may
speaking truth to power

I saw again your words this morning
an ache inside me,
an injustice uncorrected
as if time was enough
wanting to speak out;
but I saw your words
sharing deep wisdom -
Love all the people you meet;
leave them to God

speak truth to power
quote attributed to Edmund Burke,
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil
is that good men do nothing.”
