Foothold

Foothold


Of what use
can my words be?

If you only know hatred and violence.

What magical sound
can my voice make that
would cause your heart
to reverberate with peace?

Where does love gain a foothold
when the holy books tell us
that some people Must die?

The last 12 months have been the hardest of my life. The lightening quick ending of a 26 year marriage, partnership and friendship. The loss of my best friend of 30 years and the loss of other close friends. I am a poet and writer. Writing helps me move through both the joys and the fears and the pain with swifter and more useful degrees of grace and wisdom. Right now life is challenging, so the poetry reflects that. FYI Be in joy, in all ways! ~william
