SHE KNEW WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY

She was wrong and now she had to speak
Her knowledge of what should be said
Was constantly in the forefront of her mind
She had been wrong about this and many things
 
Pride however has a way of ignoring the obvious
So then it became easier to walk away
She would save her words for later
When there would not, could not be rebuttal
 
The story line will be changed as
She was an expert at imagining, followed by
Her graceful art of extrapolation so that
She could dance around the truth
 
She did not have to rehearse or practice
Her lips did not move, but remained tightly together
But she knew what she had to say
 
Her head turned when she spoke and
Her words were muted; could not be understood
She would not repeat, but why would we expect her to
An image, built in her mind, had to be sustained
 
So waves of sound passed through her lips
Zigging and zagging in mumbled utterances
She had achieved what she wanted
Her persuasion had prevailed and she seemed all set
 
But as would be there were errors which could not be denied
Could only be corrected but not by her
She wiped out all artistic expression
Which did not originate with her
 
Bad decisions created extra work for others
 
She knew what had to be said
But walked away proudly, no bow to her head
 
One could only see her tail feathers
And in watching, the real story was told

TENDER

 
 
Acceptance is such a gift, 
and so are You my friend.                                                                           Impatience and illusion push us 
away from recognizing this,but then
 
You come along and teach us to 
slow the pace and to pare the agenda.  

Don’t rush things.                                                                              Everything falls into place almost miraculously 
when You are with us. 
                                                                    Chilling threats become warm invitations.                                                                              You pull us even closer;
the days seem longer and the load is lighter.                                                                              Obstacles disappear as we walk in other directions.
                                                                   Perceived problems become welcome invitations.                                                                              How great is that.  Trust is in You and joy abounds.                                                                                                                   
Our cups run over with love.                                                                              We open up and are filled.                                                                              Dangers disappear from our vision.                                                                             Our mind lets them go.  
Oneness with You is what we are  about. 
                                                                            Being home is being where ever we are 
when You are with us.                                                                                                                          
Feeling Your presence lifts us to heights not known.                                                                                            Without You we would feel like strangers,
                                                                         but You are with us and our completeness radiates your grace.                                                                             We are in wonder and can only thank You.
