love the people you meet

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
I saw again your words this morning
an ache inside me,
wanting to speak out
but I saw your words
sharing deep wisdom
love 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.”
