Embittered A stone shatters clean Glass houses in which some live Hold enemies close Think not one’s choices Are gone unheard ~ deaf of ear Lips slip, speaking lies Hide facts under rock Scissors that cut truths won’t break Though still some write on This heart, embittered Missing lives that once love held Open honesty Where once some weighed Fact Now pride won’t let them step down We yearn for our Friends I will stand alone Seeing front and back, as is Even, side by side Bitterness will fall We keep as we lose, in kind Truth will float, in light. ~*~ Matthew 5-37 Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. ~*~ No buts or ifs heard I will let your yes be yes And your no be no.

Hi Sunshine, and I agree with Wind about it having the feel of multiple Haikus, yet with the same tones and feelings. Wonderful piece this is, and I love it...~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

In the light of truth, darkness must vanish. You made me think this morning of something (someone) of which the truth must be accepted, so that I may walk in the light. I took your words to my heart and there they will remain. Patricia |

A light shines in truth Staving off embitterment Life without pretense |

Yes, another great poem from your pen. Thank you, Karilea... “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
