the healing word
“The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to
the healing of the world.”―Marianne Williamson
tether not thou the tender tongue
that tempers tears and thorns,
when tyrant terrors thrust their throng
at you and blow their horns.
delimit not the lisping lips
that lave the limping loins
of him defeated by eclipse
where light with darkness joins.
mute not the message of the mouth,
whose generosity
relieves the silence of uncouth
impetuosity.
hinder not thou the hopeful heart
that brings the healing word;
let all your songs be a la carte
and faith a soaring bird.
