sundials stand at noon
winds not blow
leaves not fall below
on your command
I would listen
to the words you hurl
and they would hurt.
But time does not wear patience
in her hair
weather vanes blow north and south
acorns grow
fall upon the ground.
And I will braid your multicolored words
into a rug
and throw it down
to hide the dirt.
dang....with attitude...smiles
ReplyDeletelove the braiding of the words and throwing them down to hide the dust....
I love the sentiment here and those last lines are beautiful. In the Jewish religion gossip is greatly frowned upon and called 'loschen horra'.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh a masterpiece, now why can't i write like that it's similar in sentiments to my doubt, but yours oh yours is MAGNIFICENT
