TIME TO HEAL

 

Until the last silent virtue

Cannot be discerned

Until no self-sacrifice is revered

In need, until consciousness is lost

Those of courage and good heart carry on

Living lives of quiet morality

Raising families and finding God

In simple pursuits of work and love

Independent of scurrilous motivations

That surround a clean life

With the refuse of greed

            While here, look for what lasts –

            Love and family come to mind –

            Though temporary and sometimes difficult

            We are bonded to other lives

            And through good acts

            We are recognized.

            Even if not all the time

            And even if doubts linger

            You can pursue kindness

            Before anger or aggression.

            Give the other time to heal –

            Provide space and silence

            Or easy gentle tones –

            Allow tempers to subside.

One week into calmer waters

Waves are gentle and warm.

The sun beckons as always

To breath deep and feel complete

Even if a missing piece.

The V-12 still purrs

Nearly silent and able to roar
