Highs and Flows

This piece is from a few years ago…

For the first time in a long time, I don’t have much to say

I don’t have much to say, I’d rather be silent today, and the next day.

Naw, things ain’t necessarily going astray

But our wounds are still open, and the humble still cope- in

I will be silent, not because I’m bitter or got the jitters

I will be silent because it’s the one and only way to silence demons

to lead myself and those I love with me toward liberation.

I wish we could all stop pre- judging, grudging, but maybe that’s too much to ask.

One thing’s fa sho, forgiveness and love ain’t no task.

Love is real, free of seals.

I will be silent because we still need More love in our own temples.

For the first time in a long time, I don’t have much to say

I don’t have much to say, I’d rather be silent today, and the next day.
