~Silent Witness~

That level where you know yourself
in practice of forgiveness
knowing exactly how you feel about 
what happens, being able to bear 
when a situation is not okay

Commit to yourself what you
have to do to feel better
forgiveness not necessarily 
meaning reconciliation with a 
person who hurt you

It is for you, not for anyone else
in reaping the gold of silence much
the wise owl blinking in confirmation 
without regard for what others think
they know of you

(c) Silent Witness

This is quite deep and philosophical and the reviewer who alluded to stoicism has hit the mark. You have produced a concise lesson on inner peace.

These are some of the wisest thoughts I've every been privileged to read Vivian.

Words as wise as that old owl.

As the owl... wisdom in these words Lady Vivian
"It is for you, not for anyone else"
Those few words say it all to me...

I am immediately caught up by the line
"That level where you know yourself in practice of forgiveness"
and sigh a soft hoot in the end
"without regard for what others think they know of you"

I agree with Dan, you are becoming AD's poet philosopher. You deal with what is wrong sometimes in life and propose solutions to the problems and how to go about fixing it so you will be alright with the result. Enjoyed this one.
