Reflection on Things Unsaid


 

Some things are best unsaid they say
And sometimes that can ring so true
The harder to mention through a delay
The first lash across the heart they flay
Another quiet prayer to softly say
Wonder what if anything one should do
Leave it gathering dust for a later day 
 
Yet the blow seems cruel and of will
Questions whirl and turn to stone
Deliberate or careless issues spill
Deep thought of ancient phantoms kill
Haul unforgotten harm further up a hill
Stiletto of spite pushed deep into bone
Watching birds sympathetically trill 
 
Joy in every aspect bar one sorry ache
Was offence ever there to be taken
Scrap by scrap trust starts to flake
Creates a downward slithering snake
Irritation mentally filed true or fake
Hope for a salve for love forsaken
Restore a bond now sleeping to awake
