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?

Shine brightly now, be not small. Your memory we burnish, how it does glisten. You spoke out, lived and gave your all. Wake up. It is time. Time to listen.

Forgetfulness No need To prove I am right. No desire To prove that Others are wrong. Forgiveness. Blossoming into Sublime forgetfulness. Your heart is the Power behind the voice Singing the song of your soul. Explode into the radiant beauty Of the final judgment. When no more do we choose to Judge ourselves and others. This is the moment when We transform each other Into the words that Only love can speak. Copyright © 2005 William A. York. All Rights Reserved.
