Angry words given birth Hurled on impulse For all they're worth Striking hard just on cue No regard For what is true Thoughtless accusations fly Inspiring hatred In reply But human is our need for peace For resolution And release Treaties written in the dust Then swept away Can we trust? Second-guessing hows and whys Beneath civility Resentment lies No end to venom can we see We've battled fiercely Time to flee? Given choice of fight or flight Maybe neither Can be what's right So once again may I extend An olive branch To you… my friend? |

destiny, Excellent writing!!! Sometimes we speak or hurl before thinking. Sad, but true. I think we have all been there at one time or another. You are very kind to offer the olive branch. I hope it is accepted by the one for whom it was intended. I know I would accept if it were me. Nice job!!  Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Destiny, I hope that your branch is accepted. . . everyone speaks without thinking sometimes, even me. . . but as someone who strives for peace, I try not to do that. . . but sometimes, even I fail. . .and it does hurt. . . it hurts to hurt someone that you care about. . . but you can only hope that they will forgive you for the silly mistake that you have made and that you will move on. . . Even the best of friends hurt each other, but if there is true friendship there, they can forgive each other, work out their differences and continue on. . . Excellent poem my friend. . . I know that if it were I, I too, would accept that branch, and offer my own as well. . . ---------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Destiny, nice to meet you at last Sure we all have quarrels and disagreements, that is life, but as long as we are both big enough to make up, it's a learning process, not a fight at all!! An old saying stay plays well with me, 'A wise man forgets his anger before he lies down to sleep!' One of my life mottos. Great work!!!  A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
